This reduces the likelihood of contamination oy <br /> ingestion. <br /> 4 Exposure - Heat Stress: <br /> Since climatic changes cannot be avoided work schedules will <br /> be adjusted to provide time intervals for intake of juices, <br /> juice products and water in an area free from contamination <br /> and in quantity appropriate for fluid replacement. <br /> Heat stress may occur even in moderate temperature areas and <br /> may present any or all of the following: <br /> A. Heat Rash: result of continuous exposure to heat, <br /> humid air, and chafing clothes. Heat rash is <br /> uncomfortable and decreases the ability to tolerate <br /> heat. <br /> B.
