Background: Workers who are
exposed to extreme heat or work in hot
environments may be at risk of heat
stress. Exposure to extreme heat can
result in occupational illnesses and
injuries. Heat stress can result in heatrelated illnesses such as heat stroke,
heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat
rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of
injuries in workers as it may result in
sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses,
and dizziness. Burns may also occur as
a result of accidental contact with hot
surfaces or steam. Workers at risk of
heat stress include outdoor workers and
workers in hot environments such as
firefighters, bakery workers, farmers,
construction workers, miners, boiler
room workers, factory workers, and
others.
In 1986, NIOSH published a Criteria
Document on hot environments [DHHS
(NIOSH) Publication No. 86–113] https://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/86-113/86113.pdf which identified many of the
effects of heat, provided information on
appropriate measuring techniques, and
made recommendations for
occupational standards, prevention and
control. In recent years, including
during the oil spill response of 2010,
questions were raised regarding whether
this document needed to be updated
with additional research and findings.
Recent literature was reviewed to
determine areas that needed updating
and revision.
