Heat stress in many industrial workplaces imposes significant risk of injury to individuals. As
a means of quantifying these risks, a comparison of four rationally developed …

Mathematical models of human thermal responses can be used to provide useful
information to prevent heat injuries, plan risk mitigation strategies, and evaluate potential …

Hazardous fuel reduction treatments are important for both the mitigation of wildland fire risk
and the support of suppression efforts. In the United States, significant financial resources …

Firefighting requires hard work in very hot environments that often lead to a continuous
increase of the heat stored in the human body, promoting heat stress and heat-related …

Firefighting has often been compared to a fight against an enemy capable of both material
and lives' loss. It is a physical activity that requires a rare combination of strength, flexibility …

The objective of the present study is to perform a detailed analysis of the effect of a hot
thermal environment on the human body. For that purpose, a sample of eight Portuguese …

This study aims to test and validate a software—the HuTheReg (Human Thermal
Regulation) program—that simulates the human body thermophysiological response during …

In this study use was made of the HuTheReg software (Raimundo et al. 2012) to predict the
human thermophysiological response. Its main module is based on the Stolwijk (1971) …
