    Either something to do with: Assessment of Attention Following Traumatic Brain Injury or MAXIMUM WORKING TEMPERATURE: Practice suggests that the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable, this guidance leaves considerable uncertainty as to the upper limit beyond which control measures must be in place; understands that employees in a wide range of workplaces - from industrial bakeries to school classrooms - are often subjected to high temperatures which can impact seriously on their health and well-being, with effects ranging from discomfort, stress, irritability and headaches, to extra strain on the heart and lungs, dizziness and fainting and heat cramps due to loss of water and salt; observes that the consequent reduction in cognitive function.

    How would those people go on working in the Gulf in summer. The temp banging 45 +c in the shade, but there is No shade, just twice as hot under the sun, working on deck, 12 to 14 hours a day, loading 250,000 tons of crude, the air on deck full of Hydro sulphide gas. Sometimes having to work inside the funnel and boiler rooms it was a hell of a lot hotter than that.
    I was in Bahrein one year and 16 Arabs died of the heat, we still had to work 12 hours a day. no a/c and these whimps think it is hot at 30c.
