    The document is a heat index chart that provides categories of heat risk based on the heat index value and guidelines for water intake and work/rest periods. It shows that a heat index above 32 is considered extreme and work should stop to avoid heat stroke, while a heat index of 25-32 is high or moderate risk and requires scheduled rest and water breaks. The chart also provides air temperature and relative humidity values to determine the corresponding heat index.
