Ecuador Norma Técnica de Seguridad e Higiene del Trabajo — Art. 8 Heat (WBGT Ceilings) — Heat Stress Control Measures

Article 8 of Ecuador's Norma Técnica de Seguridad e Higiene del Trabajo sets WBGT exposure ceilings by workload tier and acclimatization state, together with an ordered control hierarchy. Exceeding a ceiling creates a duty to control exposure — the article prescribes no work/rest schedule and no suspension of work.
