The hallmark symptom of heat stroke is a core body temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit. But fainting may be the first sign.
If you suspect that someone has a heat stroke, immediately call 911 or transport the person to a hospital. Any delay seeking medical help can be fatal.
While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, initiate first aid. Move the person to an air-conditioned environment -- or at least a cool, shady area -- and remove any unnecessary clothing.
If possible, take the person's core body temperature and initiate first aid to cool it to 101 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. (If no thermometers are available, don't hesitate to initiate first aid.)
Try these cooling strategies:
When the heat index is high, it's best to stay in an air-conditioned environment. If you must go outdoors, you can prevent heat stroke by taking these steps:
Heatstroke is predictable and preventable. Take these steps to prevent heatstroke during hot weather:
Never leave anyone in a parked car. This is a common cause of heat-related deaths in children. When parked in the sun, the temperature in your car can rise 20 degrees F (more than 6.7 C) in 10 minutes.
It's not safe to leave a person in a parked car in warm or hot weather, even if the windows are cracked or the car is in shade. When your car is parked, keep it locked to prevent a child from getting inside.

Heat stress is a serious problem which can be averted with reasonable heat stress awareness among your workers. Heat stress prevention does take some time and effort, but the results save lives and keep your workers safe.
Workers who are exposed to heat stress and extreme heat or work in hot environments may be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to extreme heat can result in on teh job illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat, especially extreme 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 American workers is important. Most employers provide training and heat stress awareness to workers so they understand what heat stress is, how it affects their health and safety, and how it can be prevented.

The world of industrial facilities is often a very busy and quite large with lots of distractions and many things happening. Unfortunately, safety posters often are so small that even the excellent ones get lost in the environment of an industrial facility and have little if any effect on facility safety. SafetyBanners.Org sells a lot of safety posters, but we sell many many times more safety banners, I believe because they have a greater safety impact. We offer sizes up to 10 foot tall by twenty foot wide of which we sell thirty to forty of a year. Our most popular size safety banner is the four foot by eight foot size with the five foot by ten foot and the three foot by six foot sizes close behind.
All of our safety banners are designed to the modern standard of a two one ratio which is the most pleasing to the human eye and mind. In the 70's, 80's and even the 90's the standard banner size was 3 foot tall by 8 foot long only because that was a standard screen press and material size for that era, NOT because it was the most pleasing for human viewing. Unfortunately, today, most companies in the safety banner business still use the 1970's standard for some reason, possibly because the do not want to spend the money to redesign their product to bring it into the current millennium.
