Heat can have varied impacts especially on workers who need to perform their duties for long hours under the heat of the sun. This paper evaluates the thermal comfort of traffic enforcers in Pasig City and determines its impacts on their work, safety, and health. Quantitative data on external factors such as air temperature, wind speed, UV index, and relative humidity, as well as qualitative information on internal factors such as the perceived level of physical activity and clothing comfortability were gathered and analyzed to determine their influence on the overall thermal comfort of the MMDA traffic enforcers. Interviews with traffic enforcers were conducted. The results showed that some of these factors do not favor thermal comfort. Some recommendations were given to help improve the traffic enforcers thermal comfort during the performance of their work. |
