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.

Stop-work / banned hours

Programmable logic

Implements Greece conservatively as a recurring emergency stop-work rule rather than a fixed national temperature table. It only enforces the 12:00-17:00 outdoor stoppage when the caller explicitly indicates that the official Greek emergency order covers the worker's region and date; otherwise it stays a source-check overlay that still surfaces the official prevention, delivery, telework, and penalty controls.

This standard does not take WBGT as a required input, and publishes no standalone numeric parameter table here; see the governing metric and programmable logic above, and the primary source below.
