FRONTLINE - Recognizing Thermal Heat Hazards & PPE Requirements

Working in food and beverage processing can expose workers to thermal hazards such as ovens, steam, hot liquids, and high-humidity environments. These conditions can lead to burns, heat stress, and other serious health risks if not properly managed. In this course, you will learn how to recognize signs of heat stress, use PPE for thermal hazards, and understand employer responsibilities for selecting, maintaining, and training workers on protective equipment. Through practical examples, you will practice identifying heat risks, checking PPE condition and fit, and responding to unsafe heat conditions before incidents occur.
