Heat Stress Measurement
Heat stress measurement is a service designed to assess the impact of environmental heat on individuals, typically in workplaces or outdoor settings. It involves the monitoring of various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. By evaluating these factors, the service helps to determine the level of heat stress in a given area, which can pose health risks to workers or individuals exposed to extreme heat for prolonged periods.
This service often includes the use of specialized equipment like wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) meters and other sensors to gather real-time data. It provides valuable insights to employers or safety officers by identifying when heat stress may reach dangerous levels, enabling them to implement preventive measures such as cooling stations, hydration strategies, or modified work/rest schedules to protect the health and safety of individuals.
