Ryan Griffin with Martin Supply joined us this April to share valuable insight on recognizing and preventing heat stress in the workplace. While heat stress prevention isn’t always the most talked-about safety topic, it should be—especially considering that heat stress-related illnesses cost employers an average of $53,589 per incident.

Because the symptoms can often mimic other conditions, understanding how to properly identify heat stress is critical to protecting employees and responding effectively.

A big thank you to All-Sport for providing a fantastic lunch for everyone in attendance.

We had a great turnout and were especially excited to welcome students from the Greater Lafayette Career Academy Fire & Rescue program. It’s always encouraging to see the next generation actively engaging in safety education and workforce readiness.

Are you interested in taking OSHA 10 or know someone who is? This is a wonderful and affordable opportunity!
