Exertional heat illness: employment outcomes following military heat tolerance assessment
Most of those referred to the HIC are assessed and returned to unrestricted duty within 4 months. A minority of personnel have ongoing employment restrictions at 1 year. Arduous selection activities are high risk for EHI, regardless of HTA outcome. Those who are found to be heat tolerant on assessment remain at risk of EHI recurrence.
