In this discourse we have established, on the basis of international standards, thermal conditions indices (PMV, PPD, WBGT, IREQ and WCI) and some rough assumptions, that in 2006 the work of a cutter in terms of thermal comfort was mostly uncomfortable or even unacceptable, and also that thermal extremes were relatively infrequent. However, the protection of workers has to consider these extreme conditions, as they can have a direct impact on the worker's health. The following safety measures for increasing thermal comfort are advisable: the multi-layer overalls made of new materials, enabling workers to control the overall insulation; several pieces of spare clothing for protection from various illnesses; shortening or limiting the working time and increasing the duration of rests and drinking enough water during extremely harsh conditions.
