Heat disorders in general are LESS likely to occur among workers who are:

Individuals who are able to acclimate to the heat are at a reduced risk for heat disorders because acclimatization prepares the body to handle higher temperatures more effectively. When workers gradually adapt to increased temperatures, their bodies undergo physiological changes such as improved sweat response, increased plasma volume, and better cardiovascular stability. These adaptations help to maintain core body temperature and prevent overheating during hot work conditions.

Workers who have time to adjust to heat can also experience improvements in their ability to regulate body temperature and perform physically demanding tasks in hot environments more safely. This process usually takes several days, and during this period, the body learns to dissipate heat more efficiently, which lowers the likelihood of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
