Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
This study will provide insight into the extent of heat exposure in the workplace, the conditions under which this occurs, and the possible acute health effects. Based on this, recommendations will be made for workplace interventions and strategies to deal with heat exposure at work.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
