A Guide to Managing Heat Stress
In 2001 the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) established the Heat Stress Working Group to develop a standard and relevant documentation in relation to risks associated with hot environments. This group produced “The heat stress standard and documentation developed for use in the Australian environment (2003).” Since that time there have been a number of developments in the field and it was identified that the standard and documentation were in need of review.

As a result “A guide to managing heat stress: developed for use in the Australian environment (2013)” and associated documentation have been produced and now replace the previous standard and documentation publications. There has been a slight shift in the approach such that the emphasis of these documents is on guidance rather than an attempt to establish a formal standard. They provide information and a number of recommended approaches to the management of thermal stress, with associated references. The guidance is in two parts:
- the first, a brief summary of the approach written for interested parties with a non-technical background, and
- the second, a more comprehensive set of documentation for the occupational health practitioner.
