A construction employee worked outdoors during an 8-hour shift. You as site EHS professional performed heat stress assessment and recorded the following information: 7:30 – 9:30 am (WBGT 24 °C), 10:00 – 12:00 am (WBGT 28 °C), 12:30 pm -2:30pm (WBGT 33 °C), and 3:00 pm -5:00pm (WBGT 31 °C). Please calculate the thermal exposure for the employee during the shift. Hint: you will use one of these equations: WBGTaverage = ∑(WBGTi * Ti) / ∑ (Ti); WBGTin = 0.7 Twb + 0.3 Tg; WBGTout = 0.7 Twb + 0.2 Tg + 0.1 Tdb. Show your work of calculation process and include the appropriate units for credits.
