Description
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 400 work-related deaths have been caused by environmental heat exposure since 2011. The new ANSI/ASSP A10.50 is the first national consensus standard to address heat stress management in construction and demolition operations. It explains how to help prevent heat illnesses and provides an approach any organization can use to help workers acclimate to working in high-heat conditions. It also identifies relevant engineering and administrative controls to help control the hazards of heat.
As part of your registration, you will receive digital versions of all our standards. See the complete list under Materials.
