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 the 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, ambient 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).
