ObjectiveThis session will examine common risk factors and vulnerabilities associated with fatal occupational heat exposures, using OSHA fatality investigations conducted between 2014 2023. Case studies will be used to analyze prevention efforts and lessons learned to avoid mismanagement of severe heat stress cases.
DescriptionThis session will examine common risk factors and vulnerabilities associated with fatal occupational heat exposures, using a decade of OSHA fatality investigations conducted between 2014 2023. Case studies from specific fatalities will be used to identify lessons learned and possible intervention strategies, including high heat procedures, mitigation measures and emergency medical response. Then local and statewide spatial analysis tools will be demonstrated to help jurisdictions prioritize heat vulnerable communities. Finally, an evaluation metric will be piloted to help communities with resilience planning. Learning outcomes: Upon completion, participants will be able to: Identify working conditions and occupations that are vulnerable to heat exposure, Recognize risk factors that exacerbate heat exposure that can contribute to heat illness severity, Recognize the role of heat illness prevention standards and enforcement, Identify and assess areas with high potential for extreme heat exposures, Use available tools for heat forecasting, resilience planning and preparedness.
