The current study aimed at comparing the correlation coefficients between wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and a number of parameters, including the discomfort index (DI), modified discomfort index (MDI), predicted mean vote (PMV), predicted percentage of dissatisfaction (PPD), predicted heat strain (PHS), physiological strain index (PSI) and physiological strain index heart rate (PSI hr ). In total, 30 workers of a pelletizing factory participated in this study. Environmental parameters and workers' physiological parameters were measured in 10 working stations. The results showed that effective WBGT (WBGT eff ) strongly correlates with DI, MDI, PMV, PPD, PHS, PSI and PSI hr . WBGT eff had the highest correlation coefficients with PMV, MDI, PHS and PSI hr . Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that heat stress exceeded the standard limit for a number of indices in some of the working stations. Thus, some controlling measures should be taken to reduce heat stress in these stations. |
