Always Use the Buddy System

taminated areas together� It is important to have someone available to assist in
the event of an emergency� That person will require the same level of protection
as the person needing emergency assistance�
Manage and Prevent Heat Stress
This garment interferes with the natural regulation of body temperature� This can
lead to a rise in core body temperature and heat stress� The wearer should be
aware of the symptoms and treatment of heat stress� The wearer can take several
steps to limit and/or prevent heat stress, such as use of a cooling system, and
working in accordance with a conservative work/rest schedule� The maximum
time the garment can be worn depends on such variables as the air supply, ambi-
ent condition, climate inside the garment, physical and psychological condition of
the wearer, work rate and work load� The TLV™ pocket guide from the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH, Cincinnati) provides
corrected heat stress limits for totally encapsulating garments� Similar information
is available on the federal OSHA website (www�OSHA�gov)�
