The Prediction of Safe Exposure Times for Men Working in Thermally Severe Environments,

摘要

From a series of investigations begun in 1962data have been collected on the times to imminent heat collapse of engine-room personnel,dressed in underpants, denim overalls,socks and shoes,and working at approximately 310 J/sec in extremely hot environments. The knowledge gained about individual differences in times to imminent heat collapse enabled nomograms and tables to be produced which permit durations of exposure to be determined within which a known proportion of exposees would be safe from the hazards of imminent heat collapse.
