Heat from a furnace in a foundry keeps a room warm during the winter. However, during the summer, the combination of furnace heat and warm humid external air in the room can become difficult for workers to tolerate. There have been instances of heat exhaustion and the occupational health physician is concerned about a future case of heat stroke. What solution do you suggest?

Perform exercises a-c below using Strategy 6 - improve the resistance of that needing protection. You will not necessarily be providing complete solutions, only demonstrating application of the specific strategy.
a. A governmental agency wants to build a new office in a location prone to earthquakes. What can you suggest for improving the resistance of the building to damage from an earthquake?
b. Administrators of a hospital want to protect their staff from possible infection with Hepatitis B. A vaccine is available. How is a vaccination program an example of Strategy 6?
c. A forest not far from a city is filled with dead tree materials and considerable undergrowth. Experts on forest fires say that the forest will burn rapidly if a fire should start during hot weather. What option can you suggest for improving the resistance of the forest to fire?
