2. a new fact sheet to help identify risk factors that may cause workers to be more at risk for heat injury and illness; 
3. a new fact sheet on preventing heat illness and injury through proper hydration; and 
4. a new fact sheet with information on preventative steps, signs and symptoms and actions to take during a heat illness emergency.
