The body's cooling system relies on the evaporation of water content, and high humidity will slow the process. If the humidity is high, you are more easily tired, you walked the more severe the heart, and body movement more difficult. With these reasons extra vigilance measures should be taken to avoid the pain caused due to exposure to high temperatures and excessive humidity.
The following list shows the dangers of being exposed various combination of prolonged heat and humidity.If the temperature

When the heat index of 90 or above, the following precautions should be taken:
* Work slowly. Avoid unnecessary body movements
* If possible, do more frequent, brief breaks from the rest longer in completing the work.
* Wear lightweight and loose equipment, tools brightly colored opener.

* If you use a medicine, call your doctor to make sure if you are in a state more dangerous than no perlingungan due to heat.
All workers should be aware of the serious consequences of a state with no protection against excessive temperature / high humidity and take action to protect themselves. Supervision should be alert for symptoms without excessive protection (weak, dizzy, the face becomes red or pale, sweating or not sweating more, the skin cold or very hot and humid, seizures, bad feelings, loss of consciousness) and immediately dismiss the workers from their jobs and provide treatment.
Many tasks must be performed in the work place is very hot air, the conditions are not adequate. Do not try to force him.
Combined temperature and high humidity is very dangerous.
