Check a reading against this rule

This rule has no numeric trigger the calculator evaluates — it states duties and control measures rather than a threshold a reading can be checked against. Its measures are listed below.

Governing formula

No standalone formula is published for this standard; see programmable logic and parameters below.

Programmable logic

Control overlay. The higher of airTempC and maxTempC is compared with 35 °C (at or above triggers).

When triggered the engine lists the s3.2(b) programme elements: 5-7 day acclimatisation, TWL-based work/rest and water, hourly programmed drinking, a personal water container of at least 1 L, and a permit to work in extreme heat and humidity including the TWL High Risk Zone. Outdoor work also surfaces the UAE Ministry of Labour midday break (s3.1.1(g)).

The CoP publishes no numeric TWL bands or work/rest ratios, so no schedule is produced, stopWork is false and the engine never contributes to getMostProtective.

Inputs

Required inputs: none

Optional inputs: airTempC, maxTempC, outdoor
