Course Details
This 100% online, self-paced course is presented by HMC Group Solutions. Across 7 lessons it covers:
- Why heat is a hazard: how the body gains and sheds heat, and what stops it cooling
- Heat-related illness, from dehydration and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke
- Heat and the law: the duty to manage the risk, as no stop-work temperature is legislated in NSW
- Assessing the risk: the six heat factors, personal factors, forecasts and triggers
- Controlling the risk with the hierarchy of control and a written heat management plan
- Responding to heat-related illness, consistent with ANZCOR Guideline 9.3.4
- Your part: hydration, fitness for work, self-checks and watching your workmates
Written for all workers exposed to heat in NSW workplaces, with civil construction, mining and quarrying, drilling, farm infrastructure and renewables scenarios.
It is benchmarked to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), the codes of practice Managing the Work Environment and Facilities and First aid in the workplace, SafeWork NSW and Safe Work Australia guidance on managing the risks of working in heat, and ANZCOR Guideline 9.3.4 (Heat Induced Illness).
Meeting the content of these instruments is not approval, endorsement or accreditation by SafeWork NSW, Safe Work Australia, ANZCOR or any regulator, and this course does not satisfy any licensing, high risk work, first aid or mandated training requirement, including any mine operator’s site-specific heat or fitness for work training. It is not first aid training and does not lead to a first aid qualification.
Assessment
