ABSTRACT
In order to investigate the combined effects of shift work and heat stress on the physiological parameters, such as heart rate [HR] and body temperature [BT], a hot-dry working environment was investigated for 53 workers in foundry workshops. In this study Wet Bulb Globe Temperature index [WBGT] was measured and along with that simultaneously heart rate and oral temperature were checked in 3 shifts. The results indicated that the physiological responses of workers changed whenever the shift changed and the responses were increased by a corresponding increase in heat stress, index
