So, who should attend? Individuals who want to learn about how the body handles heat and what can go wrong when the system fails catastrophically. In this day and age, no one should ever die from excessive heat exposure. You will learn how to provide a safe working environment even during a severe summer heat wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
