What's included

Three pieces that work together

Learners prepare on their own, you answer questions live, and the surveys tell you what stuck.

  • Self-paced course

    7 lessons, about 40 minutes, with 16 interactive activities and a 12-question final check (80% to pass).

  • Live session deck

    11 slides to run after the course, in the room or online, with audience Q&A.

  • Two surveys

    Post-course feedback and a 30-day check-in, anonymous by default, so you know whether the training is used on the job.

9 fields to fill in with your own policy, contacts and locations; each one is highlighted inside the course.

Completion is tracked for you

Learners sign in to take the course, so every start, finish and score is recorded in AhaSlides. No spreadsheet to keep.

  • Who has finished

    See who has not started, who is in progress and who has completed the course.

  • Every score

    Each learner's result on the 12-question final check, against the 80% pass mark.

  • What landed

    Survey results show what people took away, and the 30-day check-in shows whether they use it.

Common questions

Yes. The course, the live deck and both surveys are free. Claiming the template into your AhaSlides account is free too.

The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check 8 CCR §3395 (outdoor) incl. training or ask your own counsel.

Before working where heat illness risk is reasonably anticipated; employer refresher (many annually, before heat season).

Employees and supervisors in outdoor work (agriculture, construction, landscaping, delivery) and indoor workplaces ≥ 82°F (warehouses, kitchens, laundries, manufacturing); supervisor variant = Lesson 6.

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in 8 CCR §3395 (outdoor) incl. training.

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.

Your own details, each highlighted inside the course:
  • Water locations
  • Shade cooldown locations
  • Supervisor contact
  • Site address directions
  • Weather monitoring method
  • Indoor measurement plan
  • Written plan in English + majority language
