学术报告题目：建筑业的职业健康安全——高温防暑降温研究
Occupational Health and Safety in the Construction Industry—Protecting Workers From Heat Stress

摘要
    炎热潮湿的工作环境引致中暑症状及事故的频发，严重威胁着工人的健康安全。建筑施工多为露天室外作业，受温度、气候条件影响大，带来了高温劳动保护的艰巨性；劳动强度高、手工操作多、体能消耗大，加大了高温作业的危险性。据相关资料统计，夏季是建筑工地伤亡事故的高发期，建筑工人易出现不同程度的中暑症状。为了进一步细化及完善现行防暑措施，保障劳动者的健康安全，研究通过实验及现场调查的方法，收集了建筑工地的环境资料及工人的生理指标。 研究对数据进行模拟，建立了高温作业模型及体能恢复模型，从而优化了高温天气下建筑工人的作息时间安排。此外，研究从人体降温及热舒适的角度，设计了抗高温的建筑工人制服，调查了个人降温设备的有效性及实用性，并将研发抗热应激个人冷却系统。

Abstract：Heat stress, having physiological and psychological effects on workers, can lead to reduction of work enthusiasm and productivity, increased incident rate, heat illness, and death. The construction industry is found to be more susceptible to heat stress than other industries because construction workers are subjected to heat stress not only from outdoor strenuous physical work but also in confined working spaces which could be even worse. This study attempts to address this pressing need of the industry by deriving scientific algorithm. Experimentation was adopted in this study to detect impending attacks of heat stress, and by recommending pertinent health and safety measures. A set of good practices and indices, namely, heat tolerance time, optimal recovery time, and optimal work-rest schedule, has been developed and adopted to prevent the occurrence of heat stress on construction site. To further ensure the health and safety of site personnel working in hot weather, a series of anti-heat stress projects for enhancing the microclimate around the workers’ body have been conducted. Anti-heat stress clothing for construction workers was designed. Effectiveness of personal cooling equipment for protecting workers from heat stroke was evaluated. Personal cooling systems for combating heat stress in the construction industry will be developed.
