Determination of maximum temperatures that can be tolerated on contact with hot surfaces.

The knowledge that there is a risk of burning from touching hot surfaces is certainly nothing new. However, little progress has been made so far on the matter of the minimum surface temperature at which burning can be expected. Preparatory work on determining these threshold values has now been finished by the Berufsgenossenschaftlichen Institut fur Arbeitssicherheit (Occupational Safety Institute of Industrial Injuries Insurance Institutes). The figures are included in UVV "Hitze" (Accident Prevention Regulation on "Heat").
