Factors to Consider

What is our employee turnover rate for workers in the heat?

What is the typical ambient air temperature and humdity level?

How physically strenuous are the tasks of the employee in heat?

Are there employees who have previously sustained a heat related incidence?

How much of the employees shift in the heat?

What role does protective gear have in increasing core body temperature?

Freezing

Step 1

ICE PANELS MUST BE FROZEN SOLID BEFORE USE

Step 2

Ice panels must be placed into freezer 12 to 24 hours before use.

Step 3

Approximately no more than 15 panel sets per 5 cubic ft freezer. Spreading out panels and not overcrowding helps with water freezing more efficiently.

Fitting

Proper Fitting is Crucial for an Effective Test

Step 1

One DRY layer of clothing on body(cotton undershirt)

Step 2

Ask a coworker to assist in fitting. The Vest will only need to be fitted the FIRST time it is worn. Proper fit is CRUICIAL to the vest’s cooling efficiency.
