OSHA Heat-Related Illnesses and First Aid

OSHA's explanation of heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, with the signs to watch for and the first aid steps to take. Every crew member should know these signs because heat stroke can be fatal and the affected worker often cannot recognize it in themselves. Print or bookmark this for the truck.
