Heat Stress Monitoring. Heat stress poses a serious health danger to site workers and may create secondary safety hazards by impairing a workers coordination and judgement. Heat stress can occur at almost any temperature and is more likely when personal protective equipment is in use. The use of protective equipment may create heat stress. Monitoring of personnel will commence when the ambient temperature is 70°F or above. Table 5-2 presents the suggested frequency for such monitoring. Monitoring frequency is dependent on the type of protection worn (permeable or impermeable clothing), the dry bulb temperature, and the amount of sunshine. Monitoring frequency should increase as the ambient temperature increases. Heat stress monitoring should be performed by a person with a current first aid certification who is trained to recognize heat stress symptoms. For Cmonitoring the body's response to excess heat, one or more of the following techniques will be used. s Heart Rate. Count the radial pulse before site activities and during a 30 second period as early as possible in the monitoring cycle. I If the heart rate exceeds 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the rest period, shorten the next cycle by one- i third and keep the rest period the same.
