Control Strategies and Protective Measures
Air Conditioning and Ventilation
Air conditioning and proper ventilation are important for controlling heat in the workplace. Air conditioning helps create a cooler environment for indoor workers, lowering the risk of heat stress. These cooling systems should be installed and well-maintained in work areas, break rooms, and any other indoor spaces where heat could be a problem.
Ventilation is important for boosting airflow and reducing heat buildup in work areas. Systems like exhaust fans help remove hot air and bring in cooler air, making the workspace more comfortable and helping prevent heat stress.
