Beyond the Heat Index: Engineering Defensible WBGT Based Work Rest Controls
Beyond the Heat Index: Engineering Defensible WBGT-Based Work–Rest Controls Occupational heat stress is often managed as though it were simply a weather problem: check the forecast, distribute water and tell workers to take more breaks when conditions feel hot. That approach is inadequate for high-risk operations. A worker’s thermal burden is not determined by air…
