Abstract:Adjusting to and working under hot or cold temperatures has long been a challenge for people living under immoderate weather conditions. In spite of the ability in industrialized societies to control indoor temperatures, a similar challenge continues for many people who are regularly exposed to extreme temperatures while working. Concern about the effects of temperature on work-related performance has
prompted the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to attempt to establish upper limits for occupational exposure. However, in their revised criteria of 1986, NIOSH did not include upper limits for heat exposure under the assumption that there was not a well-established relationship between performance and heat.
