How do you protect people from thermal environment and how to control the thermal environment?

Thermal means 'temperature' and 'environment' means that which surrounds you. Temperature would include the ambient heat of the air, hot/cold surfaces and sources of thermal radiation. Wind chill would also be a factor to consider. Therefore the 'thermal environment' means the temperature of your surroundings and these would change and present different risks depending on where you were. For instance if you were at the North or South pole you would be in danger of freezing to death. Standing by a lava flow or near a forest fire, you would be in danger of burning to death. People normally protect themselves from thermal discomfort by means of the cloaths they wear or by heating or cooling the buildings they live in. People placing themselves in thermal extremes (hot or cold) would take specialist precautions - fireman's suits or survival suits. Finally sunbathers would protect themselves form the sun by covering up and using sun cream.
