National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) RELs are designed to protect the health and well-being of workers by recommending safe exposure levels.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), acclimatization is a biological process that an individual will go through to adjust to a stimulus following continued exposure. [13] Physiologically, acclimatization to heat will allow a worker's body to more efficiently cool itself when exposed to high temperatures.
