COMING SOON! OHCOW has partnered with CROSH to review and update the existing Heat Stress Awareness Guide. With the help of the Ontario health and safety prevention system partners and local labour unions, we identified areas that required improvement or revision. The result of this collaboration is that the original single guide has been expanded into three guides that are all now part of the new Heat Stress Toolkit. The three new guides include:
Heat Stress Awareness Guide
ENGLISH | FRENCH | SPANISH
Heat Stress Prevention Guide
ENGLISH | FRENCH | SPANISH
Heat Stress Monitoring Guide
ENGLISH | FRENCH | SPANISH
The new Heat Stress Toolkit also includes many infographics, videos, and a new online Heat Stress Calculator. It has been developed to help those supporting and protecting heat exposed workers including: employers, managers, supervisors, fellow workers, Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) members, health and safety representatives, and workplace union representatives. Unions, employer associations, and health and safety professionals may also find this information useful.
NOTE: There will be a transition period where both the Heat Stress Toolkit and the older Heat Stress Awareness Guide will be available. The new tool kit is set to launch on April 1st 2024, and the Heat Stress Awareness Guide will no longer be available as of late summer 2024.
