Heat stress on 500-660 mm pipe workers in oil rig jackets assembly welding works

The research is to study the problem related to the heat stress among workers at heavy industrial yard. Heat stress occurrence would cause several problems such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat syncope, heat cramp and heat rash (Christopher et al. 2004). This condition could affect workers capa...
