Intense exposure to solar radiation, especially during the summer, in outdoor activities can increase the possibility of a worker suffering from heat stroke.<\/h2>\n

\"golpe-de-calor\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
Heatstroke.<\/strong> When the body is unable to cool itself through sweating during work activities carried out in very hot environments, such as agriculture, construction, highway work, quarries, road repairs, etc., a wide variety of disorders may occur, such as: syncope, edema, cramps, exhaustion and skin conditions.<\/div>\n
The most serious effect of exposure to intense heat is the so-called "heat stroke", which is characterized by an uncontrolled rise in body temperature, which can cause tissue damage. The rise in temperature causes a dysfunction of the central nervous system and a failure in the normal mechanism of thermal regulation, accelerating the increase in body temperature. When heat stroke occurs, the skin becomes hot, dries out and sweating stops; convulsions occur; respiratory and heart rates increase; body temperature can reach over 40\u00ba C and alterations in consciousness appear.
