The present comprehensive review (i) summarizes the current knowledge on the impacts of
occupational heat stress on outdoor workers,(ii) provides a historical background on this …

Background There are indications that heatwaves will be intensified in duration, frequency
and magnitude and will pose threats to the livelihoods and health of the global working …

Objectives Excessive heat exposure poses significant risks to workers in hot climates. This
study assessed the intensity and duration of heat stress exposure among workers …

In a series of three companion papers published in this Journal, we identify and validate the
available thermal stress indicators (TSIs). In this third paper, we conducted field experiments …

Introduction: In this study we (i) introduced time-motion analysis for assessing the impact of
workplace heat on the work shift time spent doing labor (WTL) of grape-picking workers,(ii) …

Workers in many industries are required to perform arduous work in high heat-stress
conditions, which can lead to rapid increases in body temperature that elevate the risk of …

Rationale Monitoring physiological strain is recommended to safeguard workers during heat
exposure, but is logistically challenging. The perceptual strain index (PeSI) is a subjective …

Purpose Exertional heat stress can cause damage to the intestinal epithelium and disrupt
gastrointestinal barrier integrity, leading to microbial translocation (MT) linked to the …

PURPOSE: To mitigate rises in core temperature> 1 C, the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends upper limits for heat stress (Action …

One of climate change's most certain impacts is increasingly frequent and extreme heat.
Heat management and climate adaptation policies generally utilize temperature and …
