What is heat strain?

Heat strain, as defined by the CDC, is “the combination of worker’s exposure to heat from physical activity, environmental factors, and their clothing, which results in an increase in the body’s heat storage, known as the net heat load.” When the body starts overheating, it sweats to try and stabilize body temperature to it’s properly functioning, normal temperature of 98.6 degrees F. There are many factors that contribute to heat strain, including:

• Humidity • Skin temperature • Air temperature • Clothing type and amount

• Hydration • The speed and temperature of air moving over the body • Radiant temperature (direct sunlight)

What does heat strain do?

When a person experiences heat strain, it takes a severe toll on the body. Many symptoms of HRIs include fainting, heat cramps, heat rash, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. Heatstroke, which is the most severe form of HRIs, can take two different forms: exertional and classic. The CDC states that both are similar in that they occur in hot environments. However, exertional heatstroke can occur in the absence of a hot environment, such as wearing heavy, protective clothing in the middle of winter coupled with extensive physical labor. Additionally, sweating will be absent in classic heatstroke. Other than staying hydrated, there are a few ways to prevent heat strain and heat-related illnesses. One of the most important preventers is to assess and measure heat strain before it can significantly impact a worker. While an employee must keep an eye on their health, their employer must also provide adequate work practice controls, training, and acclimatization. If a construction company puts their workers at risk, the victim of heat strain may be entitled to compensation.
