Working in Extreme Temperatures
The body’s ability to regulate temperature, an important physiological function, can be impaired under temperature extremes and result in heat or cold related illnesses. As a result, exposure to an excess of heat or cold can cause a medical emergency. Because employees may work under conditions of hot or cold temperature extremes, they must understand the nature of heat and cold stress-related disorders and the keys to the effective management of these types of emergencies: knowing the necessary measures to prevent these problems, and being able to identify and respond to these situations if they do occur.
