In summer, the climatic conditions to which workers are exposed can be the cause of work accidents, some of them fatal. Heat stress due to high temperature, commonly known as heat stroke, is the heat load that workers receive and accumulate in their bodies and which results from the interaction between the environmental conditions of the place where they work, the physical activity they perform and the clothes they wear.
Exposure to heat can cause various health effects, of different severity, such as rash on the skin, edema of the extremities, burns, muscle cramps, dehydration, exhaustion, etc. But, undoubtedly, the most serious effect of exposure to situations of intense heat is heat stroke. When the so-called heat stroke occurs, the body temperature exceeds 40.6 ºC (105.08 ºF) , being mortal between 15% and 25% of cases.
