This month we’re highlighting our brand
new two-topic workshop titled Heat Illness and Wildfire
Smoke that will be held in Bend, Oregon, on April 3, 2025. This
workshop reviews the training requirements found in Oregon OSHA's rules,
rule exemptions, and industry best practices and advanced hazard analysis
methods. See below for additional class details.
Heat Illness
You will learn about heat-related illnesses with their common signs,
symptoms, recommended first aid responses, and risk factors. This class
discusses control measures the rules require employers to provide at
certain heat index temperatures, such as access to shade and drinking
water. You will learn how the heat index is measured and to utilize the
heat safety tool app. This class walks you through how to develop and
implement a written plan for acclimatization, and create an example heat
illness prevention plan.
Wildfire Smoke
You will learn about employee's rights, air quality measurements,
potential health effects and symptoms of wildfire smoke exposure, and
proper usage of filtering facepiece respirators.
