Which of the following is NOT a PPE control for Thermal Stress?

Explanation:
Acclimatization tests your body’s natural ability to handle heat through exposure over time, not something you wear or put on your body. PPE controls are equipment worn to protect you from heat—like ice garments or reflective clothing that actively reduce heat gain or help shed heat. Circulation air systems modify the environment by moving air to cool you, which is an engineering/ environmental approach rather than something you wear. Because acclimatization is a physiological adaptation rather than protective gear, it’s the one that isn’t a PPE control for thermal stress.
