Temperatures in urban areas will go even higher due to the “heat island effect”. In order to measure the effect of climate change on worker productivity a heat stress index that incorporates temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation is needed. . Heat stress can harm or even kill people working under very hot conditions.To help employers and workers learn how to prevent heat stress, this guide summarizes the causes, symptoms, and treatment o GETTING THE JOB DONE. A safe worker is a productive worker. When . worker capacity is impaired, so is productivity. Inadequate . hydration . leads to a loss in productivity. When a worker is 2% dehydrated, they’re 20% less productive. How about that stress?. Evolutionary Basis. Meet Hans . Selye. , . Father of Stress Research…. Medical . researcher in Montreal .
