Understanding Heat Stress
Heat stress encompasses a spectrum of symptoms triggered by exposure to extreme heat, including heat stroke, exhaustion, and even heart failure. Certain factors, such as age, pre-existing health conditions, and the nature of the job, can exacerbate these risks, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring and mitigation strategies.
Importance of Monitoring Programs
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has established recommended standards to protect worker safety from heat stress. Implementing a comprehensive heat stress monitoring program is crucial for compliance with regulatory standards and safeguarding the health and well-being of workers, especially those in high-risk industries.
