Title VIII of the Decree. L.vo 81/08, considers as physical risks, the microclimate has to be assessed and, if the assessment bring out a real risk to health must be enabled targeted health surveillance. In many documents for risk assessment and in many medical records and risk assessments of fitness shows this phrase in relation to outdoor workers and then exposed to the elements. In fact, they are given
exposed to unfavorable microclimate.
E ', to I think, an incorrect interpretation. In fact, the microclimate is, by definition, related to confined spaces and can not be assimilated to,'s call it, weather or bad weather or climate or whatever.
The microclimate is well defined in its parameters of temperature, air velocity, humidity: all measurable and comparable parameters of thermal comfort in order to determine whether personal protective equipment and aimed to establish the need to activate the health monitoring.

E 'therefore refer to confined areas not affected and well outside the climatic parameters measured: eg. refrigerators, furnaces, etc.. where you can then evaluate the parameters and, apparently, consider that a risky activity for health. From here then derive all other obligations, including an informative, educational.
difference may seem trivial, almost academic, but remember that certification of a risk factor in determining, for the employer, any other obligations.
Diversa is clearly the assessment to be a qualified doctor on a single case of outdoor workers where there are individual medical contraindications.
E 'can then identify, in the DVR, the climate risk (or extreme weather or other factors) and identify the appropriate work clothes winter and summer but still remains distinct from DPI
