Title

CONSISTENCY BETWEEN SWEAT RATE AND WET BULB GLOBE TEMPERATURE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF HEAT STRESS OF PEOPLE WORKING OUTDOOR IN ARID AND SEMI-ARID REGIONS

Pages

  1-9

Abstract

 Background: Heat stress is common among workers in arid and semi-arid areas. In order to take every preventive measure to protect exposed workers against heat-related disorders, it is crucial to choose an appropriate index that accurately relates environmental parameters to physiological responses.Objective: To investigate the consistency between 2 heat stress and strain indices, ie, SWEAT rate and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), for the assessment of heat stress of people working outdoor in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran.Methods: During spring and summer, 136 randomly selected outdoor workers were enrolled in this study. Using a defined protocol, the SWEAT rate of these workers was measured 3 times a day. Simultaneously, the environmental parameters including WBGT index were recorded for each working station.Results: The level of agreement between SWEAT rate and WBGT was poor (k<0.2). Based on SWEAT rate, no case exceeding the reference value was observed during the study. WBGT overestimated the heat stress in outdoor workers compared to SWEAT rate.Conclusion: It seems that the SWEAT rate standards may need some modifications related to real condition of work in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. Moreover, it seems that judging workers solely based on monitoring their SWEAT rate in such regions, can probably result in underestimation of heat stress.
