    Temperature plays a crucial role in medical care (both humans and animals), food, beverages, and agriculture. Our overall health is often reliant upon temperature in many ways as well. Maintaining proper temperature levels in medical cold storage areas is critical.  Incorrect temperatures can compromise the medications or vaccines stored in medical refrigerators. High temperature and high humidity are the two most important factors in drug degradation. When exposed to these conditions, the medications can weaken. Moreover, you can face fines or penalties if your medical refrigerators are not performing properly. The CDC conducted a study that highlighted the improper storage and handling of vaccines. Unfortunately, 76...

  Wet Bulb Globe Temperature more directly measures temperature as it relates to a person’s risk of heat illness by factoring the effects of air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and radiant heat.  Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, WBGT, is the weighted of average of Wet Bulb, Black Globe and Air Temperature in which WBGT = 0.7Tw + 0.2Tg + 0.1Td. Employers with workers who are at risk of heat illness are required by OSHA to establish a complete heat illness prevention program.  Pursuant to such a program, an employer must have an adequate means by which they can measure and monitor...
