Heat Stress Safety Posters: common questions
What should heat stress safety posters remind workers to do?
Heat stress safety posters can remind workers to drink water regularly, take breaks in a cool or shaded area, recognize the signs of heat illness, and watch coworkers for symptoms. They can also reinforce the importance of gradually building heat tolerance for new and returning workers.
What are the warning signs of heat illness?
Heat exhaustion can cause heavy sweating, headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, thirst, and fatigue. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and may cause confusion, slurred speech, unconsciousness, seizures, or a very high body temperature. A person with signs of heat stroke should be cooled immediately while someone calls 911.
Where should heat stress safety posters be placed?
Place heat stress posters where workers exposed to hot conditions are likely to see them. Good locations include water and rest areas, job trailers, break rooms, loading docks, and indoor work areas. Heat hazards can occur indoors or outdoors, so posters should be placed wherever heat exposure is a concern.
Can I buy a heat stress safety poster as a digital file?
Yes. Most Inspire Safety posters are available as an $11 digital download. You’ll receive a high-resolution PDF by email after checkout that you can print yourself. Digital posters are a convenient option when you need a safety poster right away or want copies for multiple locations.
Is shipping free, and how long does it take?
