The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommendations for work in the heat suggest workers consume 237 mL of water every 15–20 min and allow for continuous work at heavy intensities in hot environments up to 34 °C and 30% relative humidity. The goal was to determine whether the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommendations prevented core temperature from exceeding 38.0 °C and greater than 2% body mass loss during heavy-intensity work in the heat. Eight males consumed 237 mL of water every 20 min during 2 hr of continuous heavy-intensity walking (6.4 kph, 1% grade) in a 34 °C/30% relative humidity environment, in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommendations. Projected core temperature and percent body mass loss were calculated for 4 and 8 hr of continuous work. Core temperature rose from baseline (36.8 ± 0.3 °C) to completion of 2 hr of work (38.1 ± 0.6 °C, p &lt; 0.01), with two participants reaching the 38.0 °C threshold. Projected core temperatures remained elevated from baseline (p &lt; 0.01), did not change from 2 to 4 hr (38.1 ± 0.7 °C, p &gt; 0.99) and 4 to 8 hr (38.1 ± 0.8 °C, p &gt; 0.99), respectively, and one participant exceeded 38.0 °C at 4 to 8 hr. There was no change in body mass loss over time (p &gt; 0.99). During 2 hr of continuous heavy-intensity work in the heat, 75% of participants did not reach 38 °C core temperature and 88% did not reach 2% body mass loss when working to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommendations.

Do the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommendations for working in the heat prevent excessive hyperthermia and body mass loss in unacclimatized males?
