Which role is responsible for acclimatization measures in the thermal stress program?

• A. Unit Commander's
• B. Worker
• C. Workplace supervisor
• D. BEE

Answer: (A)

Acclimatization measures are about safely preparing personnel for heat or cold exposure by coordinating progressive exposure, rest, hydration, and work-rest schedules within the unit. The person who has the authority to set and enforce these schedules and to allocate the necessary resources across the unit is the unit commander. They oversee readiness and safety policies at the unit level, approve acclimatization plans, and ensure they’re carried out, which is why this role is responsible for implementing acclimatization measures. The BEE provides the program content and guidance, and workers and workplace supervisors follow and enforce procedures, but the authority to initiate and manage acclimatization rests with the unit commander.
