Food SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) were examples of labor-intensive industry, which involved laborers in pursuing production activities. require complex processes Support to increase work productivity reduce ergonomic risks the activities was needed. The study conducted at Tofu SMEs. determination rest period could be developed give some recovery times laborers. WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Tempe...

Abstract Extreme heat, particularly if combined with humidity, poses a severe risk to human health. To estimate future global of extreme heat humidity on health, we calculate indicators stress that have been commonly used: the Heat Index, Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature and Temperature, from latest Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) projections. We analyse how where different levels hazar...

BACKGROUND The workers who are working in the open and warm environments are at risk of health effects of climate and heat changes. It is expected that the risk is increase with global warming. This study aimed to investigate the changes of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index in the past and to predict their trend of future changes in Tehran, capital of Iran. METHODS The meteorological da...

20(3) : 357-364. 1965. -Thirty male and twenty-six female Caucasians were tested at work levels of I .o liters 02 consumption in go F wet-bulb temperature, 93 F dry-bulb temperature, and 80 ft/min air velocity for comparative heat reactions in the unacclimatized state. The females had more severe physiological and psychological reactions. Rectal temperatures of 104 F and heart rates of 180 beat...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the level of heat stress to construction workers using Thermal Work Limit (TWL) and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) indices and by measuring Urine Specific Gravity (USG) among construction workers in Iran and comparing the appropriateness of these indices for measuring heat stress in Iran climate. METHODS This comparative and experimenta...

This paper aims to assess the effects of urbanization on heat stress comparing two neighbourhoods in tropical city Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that differ terms building density and vegetation cover. The outdoor was evaluated by Wet Bulb-Globe Temperature (WBGT) Index, which considers combined effect air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation wind speed, during year 2016. urban neighbourho...

Abstract Mining is an activity with a high risk of accidents in open pit and underground mining sites. Various factors that cause have been found through accident investigation, such as miners’ fatigue. Miner’s fatigue can be caused by environmental workload controlled to make safe comfortable working environment prevent accidents. This research objective evaluate the relationship between form ...

The worsening urban heat island (UHI) effect poses a great challenge to the thermal comfort of people outdoors. However, there has not been summary mechanisms by which UHI affects outdoor (OTC). This paper reviews commonly used OTC evaluation indexes, data collection methods, and mitigation measures discusses relationship between OTC. review is limited peer-reviewed journal publications found i...
