Title Substantiation of maximum permissible levels of infrared radiation in the radiant heating of workplaces

Abstract Physiological reaction to radiant heaters with a radiation energy of 30-40kcal/m2 h at air temperatures of 14-16°C and of 50-60kcal/m2 h at 10-13°C, and body function of persons working in radiant heated premises were studied to determine maximum levels of infrared radiation to the head. The radiation intensities and temperatures did not lead to abnormal physiological or functional changes. These values are therefore proposed as preliminary maximal permissible levels.
