The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Heatstroke STUDY 2008 & 2010 regarding the characteristics of laborers who suffered and died from heatstroke demonstrated the involvement of more laborers who worked in construction, from July to August and at around 3 p.m. Also, more laborers who worked at around 11 a.m. got heatstroke, and there were more laborers who died from it within 1 week from starting to work. The results showed that the heat environment and the time and period when laborers started to be exposed to a hot environment adversely effect the development of heatstroke and subsequent heatstroke-related death. It is important to estimate and take measures against a hot environment and to make time to be acclimated to a hot environment.
厚生劳动省以及关于中暑劳动者特征的2008年和2010年中暑研究表明，更多中暑致死的劳动者从事建筑工作，发病时间集中在7月至8月以及下午3点左右。此外，更多上午11点左右工作的劳动者中暑，且更多劳动者在开始工作后的1周内死于中暑。结果显示，热环境以及劳动者开始暴露于炎热环境的时间和时段对中暑的发生及随后的中暑相关死亡产生不利影响。评估和应对炎热环境并留出时间适应炎热环境非常重要。
