Outreach & Engagement Programs and Scholars Database

KSI serves the needs of active individuals and athletes at all levels – youth, high school, college, professionals, physically active people, recreational athletes – and those who supervise and care for these individuals. These services include consultations, advocacy, education, research, athlete testing, and mass-market outreach. In 2020, KSI hosted a virtual roundtable on best practices for occupational heat stress mitigation strategies. It included 51 experts worldwide in occupational health and thermal physiology disciplines. The roundtable resulted in a consensus document that provided evidence-based recommendations to enhance heat safety in the workplace. Key occupational heat safety stakeholders continue to reference the document to protect employees.
