Ukraine ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 — Sanitary Norms for Microclimate of Industrial Premises — Heat Stress Work/Rest Limits

Ukraine ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 (Chief State Sanitary Doctor, Постанова № 42, 1999-12-01) sets indoor workroom microclimate limits. Table 2 permissible warm-period ceiling by work category (light/moderate/heavy 28/27/26°C, permanent workstations); §2.9 general rest rule (>=10% per 2°C of excess, recommended 20% floor at RH>75%); Table 5 (§2.10) work/rest minute schedule for repair work inside heated production equipment, 28-40°C; Table 4 continuous IR-exposure/rest schedule above 350 W/m2 over >25% of body surface.

Work/rest limits

With no workload supplied the engine applies the most protective 26°C heavy-work ceiling from Table 2. Readings above 40°C are floored to the 40°C row — DSN 3.3.6.042-99 defines nothing beyond it.

Air temperature (°C)Result
22Air temperature at or below the 26°C permissible ceiling for heavy work (ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 Table 2) — no rest requirement triggered.
23Air temperature at or below the 26°C permissible ceiling for heavy work (ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 Table 2) — no rest requirement triggered.
24Air temperature at or below the 26°C permissible ceiling for heavy work (ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 Table 2) — no rest requirement triggered.
25Air temperature at or below the 26°C permissible ceiling for heavy work (ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 Table 2) — no rest requirement triggered.
26Air temperature at or below the 26°C permissible ceiling for heavy work (ДСН 3.3.6.042-99 Table 2) — no rest requirement triggered.
