TRAINER GUIDE
How the class runs
The trainer guide splits the 40 minutes like this. The notes on each slide say what to say.
| Minutes | What happens |
|---|---|
| 2 | Welcome, sign-in sheet and objectives (slides 1 to 2) |
| 6 | The hazard: how heat builds up, what raises the risk and the heat illnesses (slides 3 to 6) |
| 7 | The rules: duty to train, drinking water, first aid and calling 911 (slides 7 to 11) |
| 9 | Doing it right: plan, water and rest, new workers, buddy check, first aid steps, daily check (slides 12 to 18) |
| 6 | Common mistakes and the scenario exercise (slides 19 to 21) |
| 2 | Recap (slide 22) |
| 6 | Quiz, then go over the answers (slides 23 to 33) |
| 2 | Close: collect the sign-in sheet and quizzes, give out the handout (slide 34) |
What you need
- Slides on a laptop, projector or TV, or printed copies
- Sign-in sheet
- Quiz copies and the answer key
- Crew handouts
- Pens
- The job's water container, to show the lid and the tap
- Cold packs and a towel for the first aid practice
- The site location information and the names of first-aid trained people
Tips from the guide
- Ask about this site, not jobs in general: where the water is today, where the shade is, who is new.
- Wait for answers. If nobody talks, ask an experienced worker to share a time the heat got to them or a coworker.
- Pair new and returning workers with an experienced buddy before the session ends.
QUIZ
3 of the 10 quiz questions
Pick your answer, then open it. The kit's answer key has them all.
What should you do first for a worker who may have heat stroke?
- Call 911 and start cooling them right away
- Give them an energy drink and let them rest alone
- Wait to see if they get better
- Drive them home
Show the answer
A. Heat stroke is a medical emergency, so call 911 and cool the worker fast while you wait.
What must portable drinking water containers on a construction site have?
- A lid that closes tightly and a tap
- An open top so cups can be dipped
- A shared cup tied to the handle
- Nothing special
Show the answer
A. Portable containers must be capable of being tightly closed and equipped with a tap, and water may not be dipped from them.
Your site has no infirmary, clinic, hospital or doctor reasonably close. What does 29 CFR 1926.50(c) require?
- Nothing, if everyone has a phone
- A person with a valid first-aid certificate at the worksite
- A nurse on every crew
- An air-conditioned trailer
Show the answer
B. Without a reasonably accessible infirmary, clinic, hospital or physician, a person with a valid first-aid certificate must be available at the worksite.
