Clothing has two primary affects upon workers. First, it modifies the ease with which thermal energy (heat) is transferred between the body and the environment by providing the body with a layer of insulation. This can be advantageous in a thermally dangerous environment (e.g. fire fighting, cold-water immersion), but disadvantageous during strenuous exercise where a significant amount of metabolic heat is produced (Gonzales, 1988).

When clothing is worn, evaporation at the skin surface will be …
