CI Causes 1pt Sweating CI Causes 2 pt What happens to the body’s blood vessels when the body is stressed by heat? C2 Causes 2 pt They dilate/expand C2 Causes 3 pt Name 3 environmental conditions that make it very hot for a worker C3 Causes 3 pt 1. High air temperature 2. High humidity 3. No wind - no air movement C3 Causes 4 pt Name 1 common internal and 1 common external source of heat stress C4 Causes 4 pt 1. Internal = working very hard. Muscles produce heat. 2.External = environmental heat C4 Causes 5 pt What is the difference between heat stress and heat illness? C5 Causes 5 pt 1. Heat stress is the build up of too much heat in the body 2. Heat illness is the breakdown of normal body functions from heat stress C5 Risk 1 pt What kind of clothing will make heat stress worse? RI Risk 1 pt Clothing that does not breath RI Risk 2 pt What kind of personal conditioning may make you more at risk for a heat illness. R2 Risk 2 pt Being out of shape or Being overweight or Lack of sleep R2 Risk 3 pt What kind of diet would put a worker at risk for heat illness in hot weather?
