an investigation of the relationship of perceptual strain index with indices of heat strain score, wet-bulb globe temperature, and air temperature under hot laboratory conditions
background : in many jobs, individuals are exposed to thermal stress, and thus, evaluation of heat stress is necessary. this study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship of perceptual strain index (pesi) with other heat indexes under hot laboratory conditions. methods: this empirical-experimental and cross-sectional study was performed in 5 different temperatures (21 º...
متن کاملHeat stress assessment according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index among workers of a steel mill in 2014
Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...
متن کاملMaximum allowable exposure to different heat radiation levels in three types of heat protective clothing
To determine safe working conditions in emergency situations at petro-chemical plants in the Netherlands a study was performed on three protective clothing combinations (operator's, firefighter's and aluminized). The clothing was evaluated at four different heat radiation levels (3.0, 4.6, 6.3 and 10.0 k∙W∙m-2) in standing and walking posture with a thermal manikin RadMan™. Time till pain thres...
متن کاملEvaluation of wet bulb globe temperature index for estimation of heat strain in hot/humid conditions in the Persian Gulf
BACKGROUND Heat exposure among construction workers in the Persian Gulf region is a serious hazard for health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) Index for estimation of heat strain in hot/humid conditions by the use of Physiological Strain Index (PSI) as the gold standard. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out ...
متن کاملExceedance of heat index thresholds for 15 regions under a warming climate using the wet-bulb globe temperature
Thermal comfort is quantified in 15 regions using the Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), examining past and future rates of thresholds exceedance corresponding to moderate, high and extreme heat (28 C, 32 C and 35 C respectively). As recent changes to thermal comfort appear to be dominated by temperature and humidity, a WBGT approximation based only on these is used. A new homogenised dataset f...
