[Heat Illness Prevention Resources]
Summer is officially here and with the rising temperatures we have to be more careful with working in the heat. Make sure to
follow our heat illness policy in the IIPP (attached) so that we can prevent heat related illnesses like heat cramps, heat
exhaustion, and heat strokes.
It is especially important during these hot seasons to train our workers to watch for signs of heat illnesses, take rests, and keep
hydrated.
Attached you will find posters that show symptoms of different heat illnesses written in English and Spanish and the OSHA
NIOSH Info Sheet on Heat Illness for your reference.
Below are links to a video on heat illness prevention and a free app made by OSHA to monitor heat safety on the jobsite from
your phone or tablet.

The ACI Safety Committee hopes these resources will help all of our project teams keep our sites safe from the heat during
these summer months.
Thank you.
Safety is ACI’s number one priority.
