Description:

Using work/rest schedules can decrease the risk of heat illness. Things you need to know: 1. Continuous work in the heat is not advisable - you must take rest breaks periodically to allow your body to cool down. 2. A variety of work/rest schedules are available that can be adapted to your worksite. Relying on self-pacing alone may not be sufficient.
