Whether you&#8217;re dealing with furnaces, welding operations, foundries, or hot oil systems, the risks go far beyond a little sweat. Heat exposure can lead to burns, dehydration, fatigue, and even life-threatening conditions like heat stroke.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) comes in\u2014not just as a requirement, but as a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll break down everything you need to know about PPE for hot processes.
