Hot Conditions Safety Policy

The Hot Conditions Safety Policy is designed to safeguard workers operating in environments with high temperatures and humidity. It gives the guidelines and procedures to manage the risks of heat-related illness.

It sets out a review procedure, terminology, the policy statement, and what the organisation, supervisors and workers are responsible for. The procedures cover protective measures, rest breaks by temperature and what to do when a worker shows signs of heat stress.

A Hot Conditions Risk Assessment Form helps you assess environmental, location, plant, worker and work-hour factors and choose controls. Document control registers track who holds a copy and what has changed.
