Reference conditions: moderate work (300 W), acclimatized worker. WBGT values below are illustrative reference points, not a threshold of any single standard.

2850 / 10 min work/rest per hr (most protective)
3130 / 30 min work/rest per hr (most protective)
340 / 60 min work/rest per hr (most protective)

This is the single most protective applicable result at each condition (stop-work override, else minimum work / maximum rest minutes) — standards are never averaged. Contributing standard(s) across these conditions: Malaysia DOSH Heat Stress Guidelines 2016.
