Construction workers generally work outside
and are exposed to heat and the sun. Too much heat or cold, especially if
combined with high humidity or high winds, can harm your health and interfere
with work. Hot, humid conditions can cause heat exhaustion, cramps, and even
fainting. Employers have a responsibility to protect workers from extreme
temperatures.
At
times, workers may be required to work in hot environments for long
periods. When the human body’s unable to maintain a normal temperature,
heat-related illnesses can occur and may result in death.
