Understanding Heat Stress – Physics & Physiology | Industrial Heat Stress Management Series

Описание: This video explains the fundamental physics and physiology of heat stress in occupational environments.

It discusses how the human body responds to heat exposure, the role of sweating and evaporation, the impact of humidity, and the importance of hydration and acclimatization.

Understanding these principles helps supervisors and workers recognize heat hazards early and implement preventive measures.

This video is part of the Industrial Heat Stress Management Series.

Topics covered:
• Heat stress vs heat strain
• Role of sweating and evaporation
• Effects of humidity
• Hydration principles
• Heat acclimatization
• Heat stress assessment indices (WBGT, TWL, PHS)
