  Background: Heat stress is a common occupational health hazard at outdoor workplaces such as mining. The aim of this study was to determine the level of heat stress indices and by measuring physiological Parameters among mine workers and comparing the appropriateness of these indices for measuring heat stress in an iron ore open pit mine. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted during summer 2014 on one hundred and twenty male mineworker. Tympanic temperature was measured using a digital thermometer (model FT70) and Heart rate was measured using a digital Emsig device (model BO26). The Physiological strain index was calculated using a standard formula. All environmental and physiological parameters were simultaneously measured and recorded during rest and work. Heat indices were calculated using the .. Read More»
