Review text

The aim of this paper is to identify heat stress and verify it by adjusting the measured and predictive values of sweat loss in hot working conditions (HWC). The results reveal that work tasks in HWC seem to be stressful in tropical developing countries because of excessive heat load. In this connection, occupational safety and health (OSH) measures are suggested which are yet to be implemented in many tropical developing countries. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0883.00026].
