The potential for health hazards from work in hot environments depends heavily on the level of heat stress presented by the environment, the work demands, and the clothing requirements, as well as on the level of acclimatization. Because there is a great deal of inter- and intra-individual variation in the physiological responses to heat stress, heat strain provides further guidance for protecting workers.
This 2-½ hour webinar, presented by Thomas E. Bernard, PhD, CIH in April 2006: 1) provides attendees with valuable information on proper application of the ACGIH® Heat Stress and Strain TLV® in the workplace, 2) provides guidance on protective clothing adjustments, 3) outlines controls, and 4) generates discussion on the 2006 proposed changes to the TLV®. The webinar also features case studies.
After viewing this webinar, you will gain an understanding of:
- How the Heat Stress and Strain TLV® was developed
- How to use the TLV® in the workplace
- How to apply the "Action Limit" and clothing protection factors newly proposed in the TLV®
- How to manage potential sources for heat stress and strain
