Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Virtual Event | Free for NUCA Members
As temperatures continue to rise, heat stress remains one of the most significant hazards facing construction and utility workers. Join us at the next NUCA Safety Roundtable as we explore common heat stress risk factors, the critical role of acclimatization, and how to recognize the early warning signs of heat-related illnesses before they become serious emergencies.
During this session, participants will learn to identify symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, discuss practical prevention strategies for protecting workers in hot environments, and review best practices for hydration, work/rest cycles, and monitoring at-risk employees. We will also cover effective response procedures when heat-related illnesses occur, helping attendees prepare their teams to act quickly and confidently when every minute matters.
Whether you're a safety professional, supervisor, foreman, or field leader, this discussion will provide valuable insights and practical tools to help keep workers safe throughout the summer months.
Key Topics:
- Common heat stress risk factors
