Evaluation of heat exposure in baker’s workers using WBGT, HSI and UTCI indices
Background Heat is one of the most important physical harmful factors in many work environments. Due to the nature of work, bakery activity is considered as one of the high-risk occupations in terms of heat stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was evaluated of heat exposure in bakery workers using WBGT, HSI and UTCI indices. Methods This study is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Levels of Thermal Stress in Kerman City in 2016 Using Thermal Indices: WBGT, ESI, HI, HSI, and SWreq
Background:Thermal stress may have numerous harmful effects on human health. This study aimed at investigating thermal stress in the city of Kerman, Iran. Methods:In this descriptive-analytical study, thermal stress was assessed from 6 AM to 9 PM in 2016 using four thermal stress indices including wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), environmental stress index (...
متن کاملHeat Stress Level among Construction Workers
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...
