| Resumen |
Quebec occupational safety and health regulations (RSST) specify permissible exposure values (PEVs) for heat, based on the WBGT index. Their measurement requires technical means that are not always available in workplaces. To help manage thermal stress, the Occupational safety and health commission (CSST) published a heat stroke prevention guide in 2003 that contains a calculation process leading to a corrected air temperature (CAT) that does not require any special instrumentation. This report describes the research efforts leading to the development of a computer-based tool for estimating the CAT for use by occupational hygienists. |
