Bibliography

This International Standard provides guidance to those concerned with the safety of human exposures to extreme hot or cold thermal environments, about the medical fitness assessment and health monitoring which may be appropriate prior to and during such exposures. It is intended to assist those with responsibility for such exposures to reach decisions about the appropriate level of medical supervision in different situations. The standard presents guidance which should be read and used in the context of other guidance and legislation applying to each particular situation.
