High humidity

Cómo controlar: high humidity

1. Reduce humidity at the source by fixing steam leaks, venting moisture and using dehumidifiers in enclosed work areas.
2. Increase air movement with fans or ventilation so sweat can evaporate and cool the body.
3. Assess heat risk with a heat stress tool that includes humidity rather than air temperature alone, and lighten workloads accordingly.
4. Provide cool drinking water, longer rest breaks and cool, dry rest areas away from the humid work area.
5. Choose breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and PPE, and allow time to change out of sweat-soaked clothing.
