Heat Stress

Working in a hot environment can cause the body to overheat, this is 'heat stress'. Heat exhaustion can result if fluids are not taken to replace those lost by sweating.
In the extreme, heatstroke may occur, and this condition can be fatal.

Precautions should be taken and work regimes adjusted to ensure that deep body temperature is maintained within its required operating range.
