Working in Extreme Temperatures

Working in extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can inundate the body’s temperature control system. When the body is unable to warm or cool itself properly, illness can result. Heat and cold stress can contribute to adverse health effects that range in severity from discomfort to death.
