NIOSH studied heat-related fatalities of workers in the United States during 1992 through 2006 [CDC2008]. During this 15-year period, a total of 423 worker deaths from exposure to environmental heat were reported. Of these 423
deaths, 102 were of workers employed in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries. A total of 68 crop workers died from heat stroke, representing a rate nearly 20 times greater than for all U.S. civilian workers. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor stated that 2 of every 1,000 workers are at risk for heat stress and that some occupations—
such as logging, firefighting, agriculture, and construction—are at a greater than average risk [U.S. Departmentof Labor 2011]
