Health surveillance and workplace surveillance are two related but different aspects of occupational health services. The assessment of heat stress using heat indices and thermal models in connection with meteorological data is an important part of surveillance of workplace heat. The assessment of heat exposure provides the basis for occupational health services. Workers should have health surveillance if the high heat stress cannot be reduced.
健康监测和工作场所监测是职业健康服务的两个相关但不同的方面。使用热指数和热模型结合气象数据评估热应激是工作场所热监测的重要组成部分。热暴露评估为职业健康服务提供了依据。如果高温应激无法降低,工人应接受健康监测。
