Abstract

Introduction: Heat exposure is one of the harmful factors at work environments. Workers in high temperature environments are susceptible to heat strain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of IRANIAN COOLING VESTs containing PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL in hot and humid conditions of the PERSIAN GULF.Materials and Methods: This interventional study was performed on six staff of oil tanker ship's engine room in summer of 2013. The Heat Strain Score Index (HSSI), oral temperature and blood pressure were measured with and without wearing cooling vest for two hours. Data was analyzed using paired T-test.Results: The mean oral temperature was 36.98±0.22oC (without cooling vest) and 36.68±0.68oC (cooling vest) at 30th minutes in heat exposure. The mean oral temperature was 37.06±0.25oC (without cooling vest) and 36.78±0.16oC (cooling vest) at 60th minutes in heat exposure (p=0.042). Besides, HSSI was 12.72±3.03 without cooling vest and 8.65±2.9 with cooling vest (p=0.039).Conclusion: Cooling vests with PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL packs reduced heat strain (oral temperature and perceptual heat) in hot and humid climates of the PERSIAN GULF.
