Presentation transcript:

 Tailgate Talk Heat Illness Prevention Elements of a Heat Illness Prevention Program include: breaks, shade, water and emergency procedures. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: dizziness, headache, excessive sweating, fatigue, cramps, or vomiting. If someone is suffering from heat illness, move them into the shade, give them cool water, and remove extra layers of clothing. Heat stoke is dangerous. Look for symptoms of dry red skin, high body temperatures, seizures, fainting, and dizziness. If someone is suffering from heat stroke, move the victim to the shade, call 911, give cool water if the victim is conscious and place cool/ice packs on the neck, arm pits and groin. Emergency procedures include: call 911, administer first aid, meet emergency services at the property entrance or nearest cross street, and have someone stay with the victim until help arrives. This tool is meant to guide a review discussion based on previous complete and compliant training. Providing only this information will not constitute legal training compliance.
