To help combat Heat stress, the focus has shifted to Light weight & Breathable clothing and products. This reduces the discomfort, and they can finish the task allocated to them.
1. Weight of the
garment - Heavy garments can add to a workers’ heat load. A lightweight
garment made of cotton allow the air to passthrough the material.
2. Breathability quotient - Heat trapped causes temperatures to rise, which is a contributor
to heat stress. Breathable clothing allows hot air to escape through the garment,
minimizing the rise body temperature and keeping worker cool for longer.
3. Moisture - Excessive
perspiration leads to irritation and heat rash. A mesh venting construction
ensures breathability and airflow.
4. Design & Fit - Fit of the garment can help combat heat stress. Looser fitting
garments allow more breathability and moisture release.
Ripstop construction makes the fabric more durable – It uses thick reinforced threads on the fabric to make it stronger and increasing the tear strength.
Keeping these things in mind while purchasing a garment can help manage heat stress and keep your employees safe.
