Exposure to heat and cold
['Heat and Cold Exposure']
Some jobs require employees to work in very hot or cold conditions. Both temperature extremes can lead to serious injury or illness, or even death. Employers are required to make their employees’ job duties and environment as free of hazards as possible, and this includes hazards related to both heat and cold exposure.
