Occupations and industries The commonest occupations with exposure are: • Farm workers • Drivers of road goods vehicles • Lift truck drivers.
Integrating electronic heat stress monitors • Static instruments: provide a single value for wet bulb globe temperatures (WBGT) and air velocities (Fig. 2) • Personal heat stress monitors (Fig. 3): signals from various sensors including heart rate and temperature fed into a data logger, which calculates a strain index. The monitor can be set for different age ranges and clothing.
