When employees who normally work outside say this, its time to take notice. Usually, employees who routinely work outside are acclimitized to this environment. But new employees may not necessarily be.
Our bodies are wonderful machines that, given the right maintenance, will attempt to correct dangers. Sweating is the biggest thing a body can do to cool itself off. I normally carry around a small gadget that will give me a few atmospheric readings (Keller Anemometer). But what is more dangerous, the ambient tempature or heat index? I think its the heat index. If you have ever worked in the south, you know that humidity is terrible. In any case I added a link to where you can scale the heat index without a gadget. All you need is the tempature and humidity levels.
