Heat stress categories are typically defined by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index, which considers temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. The categories include: 1) Low Risk (WBGT < 80°F), where heat stress is unlikely; 2) Moderate Risk (80-84°F), where caution is advised; 3) High Risk (85-88°F), necessitating more stringent precautions; and 4) Extreme Risk (≥ 89°F), where strenuous activities are highly discouraged and immediate measures should be taken to prevent heat-related illnesses. These categories help guide safety protocols in hot environments.
