3.16 Sufficient amount of cooled drinking water must be provided to the workers. And must be
located not exceeding 1 00m (330ft) away from personnel working or exposed to direct sunlight or direct brazing open flames. Workers must be encouraged to drink plenty of water.

3.17 Workers highly prone to heat stress (Brazers) shall be allowed additional break time and water as they deem necessary for their health

3.18 Personal Monitoring and Buddy System must be implemented. No hot work activity shall be done by an employee in solo or alone.

3.19 Proper PPE must be use (e.g., light colored, light weight, breathable clothing). Use of FRC are required for Brazers, in this case, Safety Personnel assigned together with the supervisor and brazing workers may assess and provide mitigation plans in reducing the high probability of heat stress to occur. Wetted clothing or towels could also be put into consideration.

3.20 Employees must undergo heat stress training.
