water. Workers with signs or symptoms
of heat exhaustion should be taken to
a clinic or emergency room for medical
evaluation and treatment. If symptoms
worsen, call 911.
Heat cramps are muscle pains usually
caused by a loss of body salts and luids
during sweating. Heat cramps may also
be a symptom of heat exhaustion.
Symptoms to watch for:
* Muscle cramps
* Pain
* Spasms in the abdomen, arms or legs
How to help: Encourage the worker
to drink water and/or carbohydrateelectrolyte
replacement liquids (such
as a sports drink) every 15 to 20 minutes.
Seek medical help if the worker
has heart problems, is on a low-sodium
diet or if cramps do not subside within
one hour.
Heat rash is the most common problem
in hot work environments and is
a skin irritation caused by excessive
sweating during hot, humid weather.
Symptoms to watch for:
* A red cluster of pimples/small blisters
that appear on the neck, upper
chest, groin, under the breasts and in
elbow creases.
How to help: A cooler, less humid
work environment is the best treatment.
Keep the rash area dry and avoid
ointments and creams. Powder may be
applied to increase comfort.
Prevention
Heat-related illness is preventable,
especially when managers are diligent
in providing effective controls. To
ensure the safety of your workers,
OSHA recommends that employers:
* Ensure cool drinking water is available
and easily accessible throughout
the day.
* Provide workers with fully shaded or
air-conditioned areas for resting and
cooling down.
* Consider modifying/altering work
schedules to reduce exposure to heat
(rotate workers and split shifts, add
additional workers, schedule more
physically demanding work during
the cooler times of the day, etc.).
* Encourage the use of hats and lightcolored,
loose-itting clothing.
* Monitor weather reports daily.
* Have an emergency plan in place
and communicate it to supervisors
and workers.
