. This compact checker measures air temperature, globe temperature, and
humidity to give heat stress index for using in control of physical activity in
hot environment to limit the danger of heat-related injuries.
WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) was developed as a monitoring
basis at US military training camps and became widespread for the use
in workplaces and sports situations.
It is suggested in an international standard ISO 7243 and many governments
such as OSHA (US Occupational Safety & Health Administration),
SMA(Sports Medicine Australia)and Japan Society for Occupational Health
in establishing the permissible heat exposure limits in occupational health,
sports or other physical activities.
The applications of the heat index can be in construction, iron and steel
foundries, bricks-firing plants, glass facilities, boiler rooms, mining sites,
army training, marathon, beach activities and so on.
The heat index was developed by the US National Weather Service to help
people avoid heat illness. Prolonged exposure and/or physical activity at a
high heat index is likely to lead to sun stroke, heat cramps, heat exhaustion
and even death. However, please be aware that heat index is not an exact
science. The values reached are approximations. Ultimately, the final
decision of whether or not to exercise or work belongs to the individual,
athletic trainer or employer.
