Engineering and Administrative Controls:
- Proper ventilation: Install mechanical ventilation systems or open windows to reduce heat buildup.
- Air conditioning: Provide air-conditioned work areas or cooling fans to lower indoor temperatures.
- Shielding workers: Use heat shields or barriers to minimize exposure to radiant heat.
- Scheduling work: Adjust work schedules to avoid periods of extreme heat. Allow for frequent breaks in cool areas.
- Provide cool water: Encourage workers to drink plenty of cool water to stay hydrated.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Protective clothing: Wear lightweight, breathable clothing made of moisture-wicking materials (e.g., cotton, mesh).
- Hats: Wear wide-brimmed hats to shade the head and neck.
- Sunglasses: Protect eyes from ultraviolet radiation.
- Cooling vests or towels: Use evaporative cooling vests or towels to absorb and dissipate sweat.
Medical Surveillance and Monitoring:
- Health screenings: Screen workers for risk factors that may increase susceptibility to heat stress.
- Monitoring body temperature: Use wearable devices or thermometers to monitor workers' body temperatures and ensure they stay within safe limits.
- First aid and emergency response: Provide first aid kits and emergency response plans in case of heat-related illnesses.
Education and Training:
- Educate workers: Train workers on the risks of thermal stress, signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses, and preventive measures.
- Foster a safety culture: Encourage employees to report concerns and seek assistance if they feel overheated.
Other Measures:
- Adjust humidity levels: Use air conditioning or dehumidifiers to reduce humidity, which can worsen thermal stress.
- Provide shaded areas: Create shaded areas for workers to rest and cool off.
- Promote acclimatization: Gradually expose workers to warm environments over time to allow their bodies to adapt.
- Consider health conditions: Be aware of workers with health conditions that can make them more susceptible to heat stress (e.g., heart disease, obesity, pregnancy).
- Use wearable sensors: Utilize wearable sensors to monitor workers' exposure to heat and warn them if they are at risk.
- Proper ventilation: Install mechanical ventilation systems or open windows to reduce heat buildup.
