USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Working below the threshold limit value (TLV) for heat stress is not always feasible. When work above the TLV is required, an exposure method is needed that can help protect workers from time limiting heat stress by calculating a safe time for work at certain heat exposures. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the USARIEM Heat Strain Decision Aid (HSDA) can be used to predict time limiting heat stress exposure in an occupational setting.
Twelve adults participated in time limited heat stress exposures. A range of heat stress conditions were designed using three different ensembles and five …
