- - Heat Stroke and Heat Stress information:

Exposure to extreme heat can result in illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness. Burns may also occur as a result of accidental contact with hot surfaces or steam.

Workers at risk of heat stress include outdoor workers and workers in hot environments such as firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, construction workers, miners, boiler room workers, factory workers, and others. Workers at greater risk of heat stress include those who are 65 years of age or older, are overweight, have heart disease or high blood pressure, or take medications that may be affected by extreme heat.

Prevention of heat stress in workers is important.

 - Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related disorder. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body's temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. When heat stroke occurs, the body temperature can rise to 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.

Symptoms of Heat Stroke include:

• Hot, dry skin or profuse sweating
• Hallucinations
• Chills
• Throbbing headache
• High body temperature
• Confusion/dizziness
• Slurred speech

First Aid to treat a worker with Heat Stroke:

• Call 911 immediately and notify their supervisor.
• Move the sick worker to a cool shaded area.
• Cool the worker using methods such as:
  • Soaking their clothes with water.
  • Spraying, sponging, or showering them with water.
  • Fanning their body.

 - Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is the body's response to an excessive loss of the water and salt, usually through excessive sweating. Workers most prone to heat exhaustion are those that are elderly, have high blood pressure, and those working in a hot environment.

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion:

• Heavy sweating
• Extreme weakness or fatigue
• Dizziness, confusion
• Nausea
• Clammy, moist skin
• Pale or flushed complexion
• Muscle cramps
• Slightly elevated body temperature
• Fast and shallow breathing

First Aid for Heat Exhaustion:

• Have them rest in a cool, shaded or air-conditioned area.
• Have them drink plenty of water or other cool, nonalcoholic beverages.
• Have them take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.

 - Heat Syncope

Heat syncope is a fainting (syncope) episode or dizziness that usually occurs with prolonged standing or sudden rising from a sitting or lying position. Factors that may contribute to heat syncope include dehydration and lack of acclimatization.

Symptoms of Heat Syncope include:

• Light-headedness
• Dizziness
• Fainting

First Aid for Heat Syncope:

Workers with heat syncope should:

• Sit or lie down in a cool place when they begin to feel symptoms.
• Slowly drink water, clear juice, or a sports beverage.

 - Heat Cramps

Heat cramps usually affect workers who sweat a lot during strenuous activity. This sweating depletes the body's salt and moisture levels. Low salt levels in muscles causes painful cramps. Heat cramps may also be a symptom of heat exhaustion.

Symptoms of Heat Cramps:

Muscle pain or spasms usually in the abdomen, arms, or legs.

First Aid for Heat Cramps:

• Stop all activity, and sit in a cool place.
• Drink clear juice or a sports beverage.
• Do not return to strenuous work for a few hours after the cramps subside because further exertion may lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
• Seek medical attention if any of the following apply:
  • The worker has heart problems.
  • The worker is on a low-sodium diet.
  • The cramps do not subside within one hour.

 - Heat Rash

Heat rash is a skin irritation caused by excessive sweating during hot, humid weather.

Symptoms of Heat Rash:

Symptoms of heat rash include:

• Heat rash looks like a red cluster of pimples or small blisters.
• It is more likely to occur on the neck and upper chest, in the groin, under the breasts, and in elbow creases.

80% of all manufacturing process material, powders and dusts are combustible! Safety Banners Can Help prevent fires.

Fire Safety can save lives. Over 150 major fires occur in workplaces on an annual basis. Fire is the third leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that most of these accidents can be prevented if proper safety precautions at job sites are initiated. This poses a serious problem for exposed workers and their employer. The OSHA Fire Prevention Standards establish uniform requirements to ensure that fire hazards in U.S. workplaces are evaluated, safety procedures implemented, and that the  proper fire prevention information is transmitted to all affected workers.

Fire extinguishers are designed to put out or control small fires. A small fire, if not checked immediately, will soon spread out of control. In  fact, most big fires start out as small ones. It is important, therefore, that you equip your workplace with the proper fire extinguishers as part of your fire protection plan. It’s also the law. For a fire extinguisher to be effective, the following conditions must be met:

A - The extinguisher must be right for the type of fire;

B - It must be located where it can be easily reached;

C - It must be in good working order;

D - The fire must be discovered while it is still small;

E - The person using the extinguisher must be trained to use it properly.

Fire Extinguishing Methods:

Fires can be extinguished in one or four ways:

1. By cooling: Water is used to cool the burning material below the temperature at which it starts to burn.

2. By smothering: Carbon dioxide (CO2) or foaming agents are used to smother the burning material so that air is excluded.

3. By removing the fuel: This is usually very difficult to do. An example is turning off a fuel line.
