Infographics, like the below from HPRC - Human Performance Resources by CHAMP, provide sleep strategies for before, during, and after shift work and sustained operations.

An Arm Immersion Cooling System can be any suitable reservoir of cold water used to immerse the hands and forearms during rest periods or following strenuous work in hot environments.

When properly incorporated into unit heat-mitigation procedures, arm immersion can help reduce thermal strain and support recovery. It does not replace hydration, acclimatization, work-rest controls, appropriate medical response, or compliance with applicable heat-exposure guidance.
