Outdoor workers (i.e., construction, landscapers) and workers in high temperature or humidity environments (i.e., factory, bakery workers) are at a higher risk of heat stress and other heat related illnesses.
The WBGT meter is the most accurate instrument for monitoring the temperature for heat stress factors including humidity, air movement (i.e., wind), radiant heat, and temperature. After the WBGT is measured, clothing adjustment factor added, and workload translated into metabolic rate; use the ACGIH TLV & Action Limit table to determine the risk for exposure to heat stress above the AL for un-acclimatized personnel or the TLV for acclimatized personnel.
Every company under the jurisdiction of OSHA should maintain an Occupational Safety and Health program. The framework is intended to provide companies with a method of addressing safety and health issues at their workplaces. PHASE Associates owns a
WBGT meter and can assist in formal heat stress evaluations. Additionally, we can develop, review, or modify
written safety programs. For more information contact
