| dc.description | Workers' productivity level was assessed by analyzing the relationships between work capacities and distinctive WBGT levels against work intensities’ curves and by utilizing the predicted mean vote (PMV) - productivity model. The most elevated estimations of WBGT were recorded in August, strikingly inside the blast furnace zone and continuous casting unit with mean estimations of 31.32±0.8 °C and 31.34±0.74 °C separately, while the greatest HSI was ascertained at the rolling mills unit with a value of 137.83% ±18.45. About 86% of participants whined of warm inconvenience amid summer because of heat waves, dirt and gas emissions. Strong relationships were found among PSI and WBGT indices with core body temperature (r=0.725 and r=0.721 individually) as well as the rate of heartbeat (r=0.648 and r=0.517). These are considered as the most appropriate indices for assessing heat load affect on laborers' wellbeing and performance. | |
| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The importance of workers keeping up relative body comfort in steel plant is of great significance. This is because productivity, health, and safety rely upon it. Workers of Iron and steel plants are presented to outrageous radiant heat that causes inconvenience and breaking points their performance. This study researches the impact of heat load on workers’ health and activity in Kardemir Steel Factory in Karabük Turkey utilizing a few heat stress indices. Joined field estimations what's more, surveys were completed over a period from June to August 2016. An aggregate number of 100 workers consistently working in the steel plant from five unique workplaces were chosen. The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), the physiological strain (PSI), and the heat stress (HSI) indices were ascertained. | |
