How do you stay cool when temperatures on the job soar? This is one of the most critical workplace safety and health issues affecting managers and employees today. Whether it's the airport personnel working on hot tarmac in the blazing summer sun or the foundry worker who battles scalding waves of heat year-round, the question is vital to hundreds of thousands of American workers.

A study released recently by David Pascoe, Ph.D., Doctor of Human Bioenergetics in the Department of Health and Human Performance at Auburn University, was presented at the Southeast Regional meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. This study concludes a revolutionary new fabric technology may provide the wearer the ability to respond physiologically to the environmental stress in a more favorable manner, thereby reducing the hazards of high-heat environments, extending work time, and increasing worker comfort
