(author), Kingma, B.R.M. (author), Pogačar, T. (author)In this report, you will find an overview of regional, industry specific and individual vulnerability to current and future occupational heat-stress. Vulnerability is considered and evaluated as productivity impact [loss] or increased heat-related health risk. The document includes regional effect analyses identifying inequalities across EU and...report 2022

Tobita, K. (author), Gliha, M. (author), Ciuha, U. (author), Kingma, B.R.M. (author), Mekjavic, I.B. (author)Introduction. The neuronal model based on the characteristics of thermoreception, initially proposed by Mekjavic and Morrison for the simulation of shivering thermogenesis, has been adapted to simulate other effector responses and has been suggested2, as an approach to predict the perception of thermal sensation and thermal comfort. The...conference paper 2018

(author), Piil, J. (author), Morris, N.B. (author), Flouris, A.D. (author), Ioannou, L.G. (author)In this report, strategies and technologies are screened for their potential to predict heat issues and mitigate the negative effects of occupational heat stress during heat waves, thereby maintaining workers’ health and well-being, and productivity. The present paper focus specifically on heat stress in the manufacturing sector while we refer...report 2018
