title: Combating occupational heat stress: getting past the basics.
abstract: Heat stress injuries, like any other form of workplace injury, can be prevented. It is incumbent upon the employer to provide the means that allow the worker to avoid injury, and it is incumbent upon the employee to follow the plan set forth by the employer. The information in this article, it is hoped, can assist those who work in hot environments to beat the heat.
