D6.1: Final report for each industrial sector incorporating the final recommendations/conclusions: technical report

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...

Decision support tools for hot and cold environments: state-of-the-art and future opportunities for predictive and diagnostic biomarkers

Abstract nr I034. Part of special issue: Proceedings of the MQ Military Biomarkers Symposium 2022.

The HEAT-SHIELD project — Perspectives from an inter-sectoral approach to occupational heat stress

Objectives: To provide perspectives from the HEAT-SHIELD project (www.heat-shield.eu): a multi-national, inter-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary initiative, incorporating twenty European research institutions, as well as occupational health and industrial partners, on solutions to combat negative health and productivity effects caused by working...

Proposed framework for forecasting heat-effects on motor-cognitive performance in the Summer Olympics

ClimApp—Integrating Personal Factors with Weather Forecasts for Individualised Warning and Guidance on Thermal Stress

This paper describes the functional development of the ClimApp tool (available for free on iOS and Android devices), which combines current and 24 h weather forecasting with individual information to offer personalised guidance related to thermal exposure. Heat and cold stress assessments are based on ISO standards and thermal models where...

Predicted and user perceived heat strain using the ClimApp mobile tool for individualized alert and advice

Thermal models and indices integrated into a mobile application could provide relevant information regarding thermal stress and strain to the general public. The aim of the current paper is to validate such a mobile application, ClimApp, to the users needs in the heat. ClimApp combines weather data with personal user data, thermal models and...

Improving Individualized Thermal Exposure Warning and Advising Systems via User Feedback: Abstract

Personalized Heat Warning: Alert and Advising Systems for improved Health: abstract

An Occupational Heat–Health Warning System for Europe: The HEAT-SHIELD Platform

Existing heat–health warning systems focus on warning vulnerable groups in order to reduce mortality. However, human health and performance are affected at much lower environmental heat strain levels than those directly associated with higher mortality. Moreover, workers are at elevated health risks when exposed to prolonged heat. This study...
