Heat Stress & Thermal Exposure
Protect workers in demanding temperatures through informed, adaptable controls
why it matters
Adapt heat prevention strategies as conditions change
Effective heat prevention relies on a system that recognizes changing conditions and translates them into clear, timely decisions that help protect workers from heat strain.
- Temperature, humidity, radiant heat and air movement can shift throughout the workday
- Workload and protective clothing are important factors in understanding physiological heat burden
- Acclimatization helps new and returning workers adjust safely to demanding conditions
- Indoor operations require consideration even when outdoor heat advisories are not in effect
- Early recognition of symptoms supports timely action before heat strain becomes more serious
Build heat decisions around conditions and work demands
Onterris combines field measurement with task, personal protective equipment (PPE) and workforce information to characterize thermal exposure. The resulting controls and response plans are designed for the way conditions change across locations, shifts and operating scenarios.
