Cleaner Times had an article in the April issue and I received this in an email newsletter this morning. It's always a good idea to keep aware of heat stress this time of year.

OSHA Offers Heat Stress Protection Tips
OSHA's free Heat Stress Card, available in English and Spanish, lists tips and precautions that can prevent many heat-related deaths and injuries. It offers a quick reference about heat-related injuries, including warning signs, symptoms and early treatment. OSHA points out that taking simple precautions can prevent many heat-related deaths and injuries. In addition, heat-stress related illnesses may be underreported if workers and employers are not familiar with the warning signs.
The Heat Stress Card is available at http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3154.pdf

Stay cool folks - literally,

Sorry, I didn't realize that those links must only work from the email I received. I did find this address on the OSHA website for one of the links. I hope this works.

the post is "heat stress" and you go by "crispy critter". Is there a connection?

In my former profession as a firefighter, I saw both heat stress and crispy critters
