The hierarchy of controls, which recommends using engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment in the workplace in that order to prevent work-related injuries, is encouraged by NIOSH.

Question 3

Which of the following heat-related conditions may happen when the body's temperature regulation system malfunctions and the body is unable to efficiently remove heat from its core?

Accepted Answer

Heat stroke

Answer

Heat stroke happens when the body's mechanism for controlling temperature malfunctions and the body is unable to efficiently expel heat to regulate its internal temperature. The body's internal temperature may increase if the sweating system malfunctions. The body's natural functions are upset when the internal temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which results in a medical emergency.
