Analysis of the Climate Impact on Occupational Health and Safety Using Heat Stress Indexes
Workers may be exposed to conditions that put their physical and mental integrity at risk, from workplace settings to climate characteristics. Heat stress is a harmful health condition caused by exceeding the human body's tolerance limits, leading to illness and increasing the chance of work ac...

| description | Workers may be exposed to conditions that put their physical and mental integrity at risk, from workplace settings to climate characteristics. Heat stress is a harmful health condition caused by exceeding the human body's tolerance limits, leading to illness and increasing the chance of work accidents. Heat stress indexes, such as the Humidex and the Heat Index (HI), are used to measure these impacts. These indexes are significant as they provide a quantitative measure of the heat stress experienced by workers, taking into account both environmental and individual factors.
This study aims to compare multiple heat stress indexes, relating them to historical Brazilian occupational accident data.
We selected eight indexes and applied multiple correspondence analysis to each one, a statistical method that generates graphs to visualize the association between variables in a database.
The analysis and comparison of the graphs indicated that seven of the eight indexes presented similar behavior. It was also possible to relate ranges of index values with specific characteristics of the accidents.
The technique allowed us to analyze the relationship between climate and work accidents and showed that the choice of the heat stress index does not significantly alter the results for most indexes studied. |
