Romania OUG nr. 99/2000 — Extreme Temperature Worker Protection — Heat Stress Control Measures

Romania OUG nr. 99/2000 (approved by Law 436/2001). Extreme high temperature = outdoor air temperature above 37°C OR a temperature-humidity index above 80. Tier 1 minimum measures mandatory whenever triggered (reduced workload, ventilation, shaded rest, 2–4 L mineral water/person/shift, PPE, showers, medical surveillance). Tier 2 escalation (reduced/split day before 11:00 and after 17:00, or collective stoppage) by employer–worker agreement once the condition persists ≥2 consecutive days.

Control measures

Governing metric: Outdoor dry-bulb air temperature (°C), or temperature-humidity index

Programmable logic: Triggered if airTempC >37°C OR caller asserts romaniaTempHumidityIndexOver80 = true (the ordinance does not publish the index formula, so it is not computed in-engine). Triggered: Tier 1 mandatory controls + 2–4 L water/shift, no automatic stop. If caller asserts romaniaExtremePersists2Days = true: surface Tier 2 options (reduced/split day, collective stoppage by agreement) as an alert. Collective stoppage is by agreement, not automatic, so stopWork stays false.

Inputs

Required inputs: none

Optional inputs: airTempC, relativeHumidity, date, outdoor, romaniaTempHumidityIndexOver80, romaniaExtremePersists2Days
