Heat Stress In Food Processing And Handling Environments

Whether it’s braving the scorching sun outdoors, staying active in a bustling factory, or even bundled up in colder environments, physical exertion naturally raises our temperature and makes us sweat. Our bodies are incredibly resilient and designed to handle demanding tasks, but when heat stress enters the picture, it can disrupt these natural processes and impact performance. Heat stress can lead to serious, even life-threatening consequences if not addressed.
