The consequences of high occupational heat loads can be expressed in terms of impaired work capacity, errors of judgment with obvious implications for safety, and the occurrence of heat disorders, especially heat stroke which is often fatal. This paper looks at ways in which heat stress can be managed, and also touches on future research areas in this field.enHeat stressHeat strokeHeat acclimatizationHeat toleranceMining researchHot minesConference PresentationSchutte, P.
