Relevant statistics on heat stroke: “Heat-related deaths, illnesses, and injuries continue to occur in workplaces, despite efforts at prevention. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that in 2010 there were 4,190 cases of injury or illness arising from exposure to heat in the workplace that resulted in one or more days of lost work. Both outdoor and indoor workers who are exposed to heat or who work in hot environments are at risk. To address the hazards of heat and hot environments, NIOSH published the Criteria for a Recommended Standard: Occupational Exposure to Heat and Hot Environments in February. The document can be found on the NIOSH website...Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses caused by heat stress, including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat syncope, heat cramps, heat rashes, or death. Heat can also increase workers’ risk of injuries: it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness, and it may reduce brain function responsible for reasoning ability, creating additional safety hazards."

Relevant material on heat damage to art and painting: ". Extreme temperature and humidity or fluctuations in their levels damage paintings and frames because their multiple layers expand and contract as moisture spreads into or out of the surrounding air. The layers vary in how they swell and shrink: their components expand and contract at different temperatures and soak up moisture at different rates.Temperature and Humidity Threats to Your Paintings:..Canvas becomes loose when the air is humid and it is exposed to moisture. It then tightens when the air dries out. Excessive expansion and contraction of the canvas causes it to slacken and eventually sag on the stretcher, requiring either keying out or re-stretching. A painting is healthiest when taut. Over-tightening a weakened canvas in hot weather, however, can cause further damage. When the air becomes cooler, the canvas may tear as a result of the increased strain imposed upon it by moisture deposits. More rapid damage can result from quick changes in atmospheric conditions, as when a sensitive canvas is hung in a room heated by steam radiators, which quickly lose their heat when the steam is shut off. The constant movement of the canvas and continuous readjustments that occur in the paint layer can accelerate deterioration."
