  • Levels of heat illness
  • Occupations where workers may be at risk
  • How heat is transferred and builds up in the human body
  • Symptoms of dehydration, heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke
  • Specific heat issues relating to chemical protective clothing

  • First aid for victims of heat injuries
  • Leader's Guide included. 26 minutes.
