Operations involving high air temperatures, radiant heat sources, high humidity, direct physical contact with hot objects, or strenuous physical activities have a high potential for inducing heat stress in employees engaged in such operations. We recommend the following industries provide Heat Stress information to their employees:

• Outdoor Agricultural environments in warm climates
• Glass House Agricultural environments
• Iron and steel foundries
• Nonferrous foundries
• Brick-firing and ceramic plants
• Glass products facilities
• Rubber products factories
• Electrical utilities (particularly boiler rooms)
• Bakeries
• Confectioneries
• Commercial kitchens
• Laundries
• Food canneries
• Chemical plants
• Mining sites
• Smelters

Although OSHA does not have a specific regulation covering heat stress hazards, the "General Duty Clause," Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act), requires each employer to, "furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm." OSHA has previously used the General Duty Clause to cite employers that have allowed employees to be exposed to potential serious physical harm from excessively hot work environments.
