Step 4: Record your findings

Implement a formal reporting procedure that is incorporated into current risk assessment reporting procedures for other hazards. You may be required to provide evidence of your management of thermal comfort risks if complaints were made to the relevant health and safety enforcement agency.

Record all environmental measures taken, estimates of clothing and work/metabolic rates (along with descriptions of each), indices used, and outcomes. Dates, times and places of all measurements should also be provided.

Any records should also include any interpretations and actions resulting from the assessment.

Report any communication between medical experts, thermal experts etc.

Record findings of discussions with staff, review of accident statistics, productivity variations etc.
