Application of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) for assessment of occupational heat stress in open-pit mines

The purpose of this article is to examine the applicability of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) index as an innovative index for evaluating of occupational heat stress in outdoor environments. 175 workers of 12 open-pit mines in Tehran, Iran were selected for this research study. First, the en...
