The use of protective clothing greatly enhances the likelihood of heat stress. When site conditions exceed 70°F,the SSHC will monitor the site conditions and work rates and implement work/rest regimens, if necessary. Personal heat stress monitoring will be implemented as described below,as necessary. Workers will be instructed in the following self-monitoring techniques. Count the wrist pulse during a 30-second period as early as possible in the rest period. If the heart rate exceeds 110 beats per minute (BPM) at the beginning of the rest period, shorten the next work cycle by one-third, and keep the rest period at 10-15 minutes. i If the heart rate still exceeds 110 BPM at the next rest period, shorten the next work cycle by one-third and keep the rest period the same. If the heart rate still exceeds 110 BPM at the next rest period, shorten the following work cycle by one-third and keep the rest period the same.
