Heat stress assessment in the industrial facilities (A case study)
Abstract
Heat stress assessment in the work place is of vital importance for the well‐being of industrial workers and consequently the optimum performance of the industrial facilities. A methodology for determining the heat stress in a large number of factories is presented. The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index was adapted in this study. Detailed strategy is given for proper and efficient assessment. The data were carefully analyzed in the light of set international standards and the degree of compliance of the facilities surveyed. Furthermore other factors such as the type of industry, air‐conditioning and outdoor conditions which affect the indoor situation, were also investiated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
