Use this checklist to assess and control heat stress risks before outdoor or hot environment work. It guides teams to calculate risk using weather and a heat stress calculator, verify training, provide shade, PPE and wide brim hats, ensure cool drinks and rest breaks, plan work in cooler hours, assign buddies, confirm first aid and emergency access, and implement communication plans. Includes prompts for acclimatisation, medical considerations, and adding extra controls. Managers must complete a heat stress management plan for medium to extreme risk and attach the assessment and signatures.
