Heat Index (WBGT) and Physical Work Intensity for Civil Engineering and Construction
Supervised by Sysmet Co., Ltd. Meteorological Forecasters! A simple explanation of the Heat Index (WBGT) and physical work intensity!
Thank you for always reading. This time, we will deliver an article related to heatstroke. In the previous article, we explained the heat index (WBGT) as an indicator to measure the risk of heatstroke. WBGT is an index that quantifies the risk of heatstroke based on "temperature," "humidity," and "radiant heat." However, the factors contributing to heatstroke are not only external conditions. The work being performed at that time and the clothing worn also significantly impact the risk of heatstroke. Therefore, to prevent heatstroke, it is necessary to consider two factors: "correction based on clothing combinations" and "WBGT standard values according to physical work intensity." In this article, we will introduce these two aspects. *For more details, please visit our company website.
