Thermal Hazards
Certain workplace environments may involve risks due to thermal hazards including fire, sparks, and naked flames, while both elevated temperatures (heat stress) and low-temperature environments (cold stress) also present significant risk factors. Health and safety laws require that such hazards be controlled though use of appropriate mitigation factors.
