Safety Forum

Friday, June 26, 2026 (7:30 AM - 9:00 AM) (EDT)

Description

We hope you'll join us for our June Safety Forum as Dr. Jenny Houlroyd, DrPH, CIH, joins us to discuss heat safety!

Presentation Description

This talk breaks down how hot weather can take a toll on you on the job and shows that heat-related illnesses can be prevented with the right approach. It covers simple, practical ways to stay safe—like taking breaks in the shade, drinking plenty of water, and easing into heavy work when temperatures rise. We’ll also go over how to spot early warning signs in yourself and your crew, so problems don’t get serious. You’ll walk away with real-world tips your company can use to keep everyone cool, safe, and working strong when the heat is on.
