Common logic says that workers who must wear protective apparel and equipment face a greater risk of heat-related illness as the temperature and humidity rise. Recognizing and dealing with the heat stress risk for protected workers can be a daunting task for even the best safety experts.
Choosing clothing to protect workers against chemicals raises a host of technical issues: permeation/breakthrough, puncture/pinhole, resistivity, material conductivity, splash permeation, and heat stress probability, to name some.
