Workers who are exposed to extreme heat or work in hot environments may be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness. Burns may also occur as a result of accidental contact with hot surfaces or steam. 2, record 1, English, - heat%20stress

At the company, occupational risk prevention demands more than just complying with regulations or correcting situations which led to work injuries. Prevention must start at the project planning stage and be based on risk evaluation which, in turn, must be subject to periodic updating. These functions are complemented by preventative and protection measures, jointly with worker information, training and query systems. This is the new philosophy of preventative action which must in all manners be coupled with the production process. 2, record 11, English, - occupational%20risk%20prevention
