Exposure to excessive heat is one of the most complicated and delicate physical risks to work with, excessive exposure to high temperatures can generate irreparable damage such as:
Infertility for both sexes;
Damage to the eyes;
Heat prostration
Heat shock;
Disturbance of the digestive functions
Tiredness
Dehydration
Fatigue
Muscle pain;
Disorientation;
Direct burns from 1st to 3rd degree (even on the whole body);
Indirect burns by non-ionizing radiation (radiant heat) and cataracts (by infrared and ultraviolet radiation).
Industry sectors such as foundries, maintenance, metallurgical industries, car assembly plants, cement factories, which work with this type of risk have difficulties in neutralizing or mitigating the effects of high temperatures. However, it is necessary to protect the health of employees who have daily contact with high temperatures and need appropriate clothing for their activity.
That’s why Hércules has in its catalogue garments built in para-aramid aluminized carbon, offering an incredible technology that combines thin aluminized layers, high temperature glue and base fabric, designed to offer the best protection for high risk work and extreme exposure to radiant heat.
