What Are the Implications of Dry Heat for Occupational Safety?
In workplaces with high levels of dry heat, such as foundries or outdoor sites in arid climates, there is a heightened need for occupational safety measures. Employers should implement engineering controls, such as ventilation and cooling systems, to mitigate the effects of heat and reduce the concentration of airborne toxicants. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should also be selected with consideration of both thermal and chemical hazards.
