Abstract

Background and Objective: Appropriate indicators in the evaluation of heat stresses are of particular importance. Therefore, heat stress risk management requires the development of functional indicators. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the two indicators of WBGT and TWL and their fitness with the TYMPANIC TEMPERATURE.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 101 urban service personnel was carried out in a hot and dry area in 2016. WBGT, TWL, airflow velocity, and TYMPANIC TEMPERATURE were measured using a digital WBGT-meter, TWL software, thermal anemometer, and a tympanic thermometer, respectively. Data were analyzed by using SPSS, version 22.Results: The results of this study showed that the highest correlation was observed between the WBGT index and TYMPANIC TEMPERATURE (r=0.669) and the lowest correlation coefficient was between the TWL index and TYMPANIC TEMPERATURE (r=0.343). Considering thermal variations, the absolute magnitude of the correlation coefficient between the WBGT and TWL indicators was higher in comparison with the other indicators (r=0.660), which increases by elevated air temperature, such that at temperatures above 35oC, the correlation coefficient of the two indices reached 0.996.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that for the evaluation of the risk of heat stresses in open environments, the TWL index could be considered and applied as a suitable substitute for the WBGT index.
