== Acclimatization == * New employees and employees who have not previously worked in environments where the possibility that heat illness may occur will be given an opportunity for their bodies to gradually be exposed to heat. Employees will be given an opportunity to adapt to the heat by working in the heat for at least 2 hours a day, between 4 to 14 days. * [[Tech Stop]] will also monitor employees during a heat wave. “Heat wave” being defined as any day the predicted temperature is at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and at least 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher that the average high daily temperature in the preceding 5 days. Monitoring can be done by either the supervisor or by use of the buddy system. * [[Tech Stop]] will stress to new employees the importance of immediately reporting to their supervisor symptoms and signs of heat stress in themselves or in co-workers.
