One of the important ways that humans cope with repeated exposure to heat stress is by physiological adaptation, a process known as heat acclimatisation. This paper identifies the issues of acclimatisation and de-acclimatisation that impact on fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) and local-domicile (LD) operations and proposes a model to obtain some quantitative indication of the impact of different types of rosters on FIFO and LD operations, as well as the impact of workers changing job type or returning from vacation or other work absences into hot conditions.
