If a person is exposed to a dangerous level of thermal heat flux, describe potential options to protect the person and/or mitigate the hazard in 4-6 sentences.

1 answer

When a person is exposed to a dangerous level of thermal heat flux, some of the options to protect the person and/or mitigate the hazard include: wearing appropriate protective clothing made of flame-resistant materials capable of withstanding high temperature and radiant heat, staying in an environment with lower thermal exposure, using insulation materials to reduce heat transfer and dissipate heat, and avoiding direct exposure to flames and hot gases. In case of serious injuries or burns, the person must be immediately transported to a medical facility for emergency medical intervention. It is important to take immediate action to protect the person from thermal hazards and prevent further injuries.
