U.S., June 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07656519) titled 'Consecutive Occupational Heat Exposure With and Without Overnight Cooling' on June 09.
Brief Summary: Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent, intense, and prolonged, increasing the risk of heat-related illness among workers exposed to hot environments. Current occupational heat-stress guidelines are designed to limit excessive increases in core body temperature and physiological strain during work in the heat through the use of work-rest schedules. However, these guidelines are largely based on single-day heat exposures and assume that workers recover in cool indoor environments between shifts. During heat events, many worke...
