Conceptual distribution of work capacity in relation to heat exposure (WBGT) and clothing based on ergonomic practice (7) and the international standard for work in hot environments (17). (Shorts or other very light clothing are not expected to be worn for work at WBGT below 15°C; common work clothes provide protection down to below 10°C, while they increase heat stress somewhat at WBGT above 25°C; at extreme hot and cold exposures special clothing can protect work capacity).
