[For Civil Engineering and Construction Supervisors] About the Heat Index (WBGT) and Physical Work Intensity

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.

Heat Stroke Measures for the Construction Industry: Integration of Disaster Prevention Panel and Business Chat

Thank you for always watching. According to the one-month forecast announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency on July 29, there is a high probability that temperatures will be higher than average nationwide this year. In some regions, forecasts predict maximum temperatures exceeding 40°C, which could lead to unprecedented heat. In your company as well, the risk of heatstroke is increasing like never before, and I believe you are taking utmost care and measures for outdoor work. However, in addition to daily operations, monitoring the heat index (WBGT) and sharing information with all stakeholders can be labor-intensive. Therefore, I would like to introduce this feature!
