Check a reading against this rule

This rule has no numeric trigger the calculator evaluates — it states duties and control measures rather than a threshold a reading can be checked against. Its measures are listed below.

Governing formula

Spatial average TGBH = (head + 2 * abdomen + ankles) / 4 when conditions are non-homogeneous

Work/rest limits

Programmable logic

Uses TGBH, workload/metabolic rate, and clothing adjustment to estimate allowable work/rest exposure.

This standard does not take WBGT as a required input, and publishes no standalone numeric parameter table here; see the governing metric and programmable logic above, and the primary source below.

Inputs

Required inputs: none

Optional inputs: wbgtC, metabolicRateW, workload, cafC, wetBulbC, globeTempC, airTempC, outdoorSunExposed, acclimatization
