Evaluation 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 کاملa survey of the relationship of heat strain scoring index and wet bulb globe temperature index with physiological strain index among men in hot work environments
background: heat stress is a common and usual problem in industries. several indices, including wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt), are used to evaluate heat stress. however, wbgt index has limitations such as high cost and response time. it is not thus suitable as a screening tool. heat strain scoring index (hssi) is also an observational-judgmental technique that has been developed for primary...
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...

results the results showed that the average hr at resting, sitting (32℃ ± 0.1℃), and light workload (30℃ ± 0.1℃) were 78.52 ± 12.10, 69.74 ± 11.98, and 110.78 ± 17.91 beat/min, respectively. the average of ear canal temperature was estimated at 36.70℃ ± 0.36℃ for sitting workload and at 36.71℃ ± 0.27℃ light workload. conclusions the findings of this study illustrated that the average hr and the...
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...
