Governing formula

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

Control measures

Governing metric: Reasonable workplace temperature / outdoor temperature risk context

Programmable logic: Confirms there is no legal maximum working temperature, then surfaces the employer duty to keep indoor temperatures reasonable, provide clean and fresh air, and manage outdoor heat risk through practical 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.

Inputs

Required inputs: none

Optional inputs: airTempC, indoorTempC, outdoor
