  • Title: [Microclimatic indexes and limits of safe exposure in work activity at risk of thermal stress].
    Author: Marcaletti G, Terzi R, Catenacci G.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1984 Mar 30; 60(3):561-7. PubMed ID: 6712822.
    Abstract:
    The working time in work places thermically uncomfortable must be limited in order to prevent the risk of thermal stress. In a previous study we have demonstrated that the best method for calculation of the safe exposure times is based on the required sweat rate index. In the present work we verified in different work places termically uncomfortable, grouped for equivalent values of WBGT index, the variability of the safe exposure times calculated by means of a method just now mentioned for various levels of energetic expenditure. The results point out the possibility of a mathematical relation between energetic expenditure, WBGT index and mean of safe exposure times.
