Heat and Heat Illness Prevention


OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention campaign educates employers and workers on heat hazards and provides resources to keep workers safe.

NIOSH's Working in Heat webpage provides information and resources on heat stress, its affect on outdoor and indoor workers, and ways to prevent heat-related illnesses (HRI) and injuries.

National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) initiative and Heat.gov portal build understanding of heat risks, develops science-based solutions, improves capacity, communication, and decision-making to reduce heat-related illness and death.

The NRT Factsheet: Preventing Emergency Responder Fatigue provides information on fatigue for virtual and hybrid emergency response workers.
