Heat Illness
Exposure to heat can cause illness and death. The most serious heat illness is heat stroke. Other heat illnesses, such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash, should also be avoided. There are precautions that can be taken any time temperatures are high and the job involves physical work.

Risk Factors for Heat Illness
• High temperature and humidity, direct sun exposure, no breeze or wind
• Heavy physical labor
• No recent exposure to hot workplaces
• Low liquid intake
• Waterproof clothing

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion
• Headache, dizziness, or fainting
• Weakness and wet skin
• Irritability or confusion
• Thirst, nausea, or vomiting

Symptoms of Heat Stroke
• May be confused, unable to think clearly, pass out, collapse, or have seizures (fits)
• May stop sweating

To Prevent Heat Illness:
• Establish a complete heat illness prevention program.
• Provide training about the hazards leading to heat stress and how to prevent them.
• Provide a lot of cool water to workers close to the work area. At least one pint of water per hour is needed.

"May we never forget our fallen comrades. Freedom isn't free." "One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, one nation evermore!" "I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit." Happy 4th of July!!!

Pride is the movement that unites the LGBTQ+ community and allies. Throughout history, the movement realized the strength and power of coming together to make real change, winning landmark cases and changing the cultural landscape. This progress wasn't achievable by the work of just a few, but through the perseverance of an entire community of people from different professions, gender identities and life experiences.

We are made of many voices, united by a singular message. OUR Pride is AC LifeSkills Training, and we are Better Together.

Celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all allies by learning to save a life in BLS, CPR, and First Aid training
