I was running the BOHS module on Thermal environment, non-ionising radiation and lighting last week. That's one hell of a course to teach. So many topics to cover and most of the attendees hadn't much experience of them.
For anyone wanting to know more about heat and cold stress, this book by Frances Ashcroft is a nice gentle introduction. It is very well written, easy to read and explains the basic principles very well with some good real life examples.
As well as heat and cold, it covers other challenging environments that might be of interest to occupational hygienists and physicians - high altitude and hyperbaric (high pressure).
