Become confident managing heat exposure at work.

30-minute online course | Statement of Completion

Heat exposure is a serious workplace risk — especially for outdoor crews, physically demanding work, humid conditions, or when PPE limits the body’s ability to cool. When the body can’t regulate temperature effectively, heat stress can escalate quickly to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, and the early signs are often missed.

This practical online heat stress course helps workers and supervisors make better decisions on hot days. KINNECT Training guides your team with clear, workplace-ready actions — so you know what to watch for, what controls to use, and what to do if someone shows signs of heat-related illness.

Know how to manage heat exposure at work, and a lot more.

• Identify common heat stress risk factors (environment, workload, PPE, hydration and acclimatisation)
• Recognise early warning signs and symptoms of heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke
• Apply the hierarchy of controls to reduce heat exposure risk at work
• Use practical prevention strategies (shade/cooling, work/rest cycles, hydration planning and monitoring)
• Respond confidently to a suspected heat illness emergency, including escalation steps

KINNECT Training can also tailor this program with organisation-specific branding and images and include your own policy and procedure requirements. It is also available to sit on your own Learning Management System.

What you will learn.

Managing heat exposure at work is easier when everyone follows the same plan. This program helps your team understand how heat affects the body, how heat illness progresses, and which controls and responses reduce harm.

This training will help you:

• Explain what heat stress is and how the body cools itself (and why cooling can fail)
• Identify workplace causes of heat illness, including humidity, workload, PPE and dehydration
• Recognise the progression from heat stress to heat exhaustion and heat stroke (and when it’s an emergency)
• Select effective controls using the hierarchy of controls (not just reactive fixes)
• Apply practical site strategies: hydration planning, shade/cooling, scheduling, work/rest cycles and buddy checks
• Take immediate action for suspected heat exhaustion or heat stroke, including escalation and emergency cooling steps

The KINNECT Training Promise

Clear, practical actions your team can use immediately — focused on prevention, early recognition, and confident response in real workplace conditions.
