Don't let summer heat catch you off base : try a three-pronged approach for the best indoor heat-stress solutions / by David Volk

Sumario: Plant managers and safety officers know that the higher the mercury climbs, the greater the risk that workers will fall victim to heat stress. They also know that, left untreated, a heat illness can lead to conditions that night cause permanent impairment or death. The condition occurs when people who work in a hot environment got so hot their bodies are unable to dissipate the heat buildup through perspiration. When that happens, the results can range from symptoms as minor as rashes, dizziness and confusion to fainting, abnormally high body temperature and even death. Fortunately, it can control the conditions and decrease the risk of heat stress for people who work near furnaces, around hot processes or warm factories. All require a little bit of research in advance, however
