Since 1936, according to the National Safety Council, 30,000 people have died from heat related illnesses.

On the average, 384 people die each year from heat stroke.

Heat related injuries seem to occur often with the elderly;  people who are not in good  physical condition; or acclimatized to the heat. Click here to download the PowerPoint on Heat Stress.
