Accountability Act (HIPAA), created by 

the Federal Medical Station(s) or by any 

component of HHS/ASPR during a 

response to an event while caring for 

victims of that event, and provides the 

following disposition authority: 

Cutoff is at the end of the response 

activity by the Federal Medical 

Station(s) for a particular event. Retire 

to the Washington National Records 

Center 2 years after cutoff. Destroy 75 

years after cutoff. 

Cutoff refers to breaking, or ending 

files at regular intervals, usually at the 

close of a fiscal or calendar year, to 

permit their disposal or transfer in 

complete blocks and, in this case, cutoff 

is at the end of the response activity. 

The cutoff date marks the beginning of 

the records retention period. 

Veterinarian treatment records 

pertaining to animals and their owners 

are not included in the above schedule, 

and cannot be destroyed until NARA 

approves a disposition schedule for 

them.

Background: Workers who are 

exposed to extreme heat or work in hot 

environments may be at risk of heat 

stress. Exposure to extreme heat can 

result in occupational illnesses and 

injuries. Heat stress can result in heatrelated illnesses such as heat stroke, 

heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat 

rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of 

injuries in workers as it may result in 

sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, 

and dizziness. Burns may also occur as 

a result of accidental contact with hot 

surfaces or steam. Workers at risk of 

heat stress include outdoor workers and 

workers in hot environments such as 

firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, 

construction workers, miners, boiler 

room workers, factory workers, and 

others. 

In 1986, NIOSH published a Criteria 

Document on hot environments [DHHS 

(NIOSH) Publication No. 86–113] http:// 

www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/86-113/86- 

113.pdf which identified many of the 

effects of heat, provided information on 

appropriate measuring techniques, and 

made recommendations for 

occupational standards, prevention and 

control. In recent years, including 

during the oil spill response of 2010, 

questions were raised regarding whether 

this document needed to be updated 

with additional research and findings. 

Recent literature was reviewed to 

determine areas that needed updating 

and revision.
