Blood pressure, pulse, body <br /> temperature (oral) , and body weight loss should be taken and <br /> recorded. <br /> by <br /> r <br /> # Heart Rate: Count the radial pulse during a 30-second <br /> period as early as possible in the rest period. If the heart rate <br /> j., exceeds 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the rest period, <br /> shorten the next work cycle by one-third and keep the same. If the <br /> heart rate still exceeds 110 beats per minute at the next resp <br /> cycle, shorten the following work cycle by one-third. <br /> oral Temperature: Use a clinical thermometer or similar <br /> device to measure the oral temperature at the end of the work <br /> period (before drinking liquids) . If the oral temperature exceeds <br /> 99.6F (37.6C) , shorten the next work cycle by one-third without <br /> chancing the rest period. If the oral temperature still exceeds <br /> 99.6F (37.6C) at the beginning of the next rest period, shorten the <br /> following work cycle by one-third. <br /> } <br /> Do not permit a worker to wear a semipermeable or <br /> impermeable garment if his/her oral temperature exceeds 100.6F <br /> iiody Water Loss: .Measure body weight on a scale accurate <br /> to ±0.25 pounds at the beginning and end of each work dale (also <br /> lurch break, if possible) to see if enough fluids are being taken <br /> to prevent dehydration. Weights should be taken while the employee <br /> wears similar clothing or, ideally, nude. The body water loss <br /> should not exceed 1.5 percent total body weight loss in a work day. <br /> t_ D797.8/72 HS-102-5 November 1990 <br />
