“…2 Sahu, Sett, and Kjellstrom 3 found that high environmental heat exposure for rice field workers in West Bengal significantly reduced work productivity by 4%. 3 Depending on environmental temperatures, occupational accidents increase by 5.2%, 8.2%, and 30% when the maximum temperature is between 26.7-32.2˚C, 32.2-37.8˚C, and over 37.8˚C, respectively; all relative to a day with a maximum temperature between 15.6-21.1 o C. 4 In the United States (US), the agricultural, forestry, fishing, and hunting sector has the highest incidence of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses with an estimated rate of 43.3 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. 5 Even more concerning is that this industry sector also has the highest incidence rate of heat-related fatalities at 3.06 per 1 million workers.…”

“…Once recruited, each participant was assigned a unique study identification (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) and assigned to one of four groups, each group of five participants was case managed by one research staff member. T-shirt assignments were randomized such that participants wore the same shirt two days in a row before they were assigned the opposite t-shirt for an additional two days for a total of eight days.…”

Migrant agricultural workers endure harsh environmental conditions for extended periods of time while working in crop and livestock production. Despite their elevated risk for heat-related illnesses and injuries, agricultural workers’ clothing needs are rarely considered outside of pesticide use. The purpose of this field study was to explore the potential value of providing garments with printed cooling technology to agricultural workers as an engineering tool for reducing elevated risk for heat-related illness. An eight-day field study with 20 migrant farmworker participants measured thermal comfort perceptions at the end of each workday for a t-shirt with active cooling technologies, including phase change materials, compared to the same 100% polyester t-shirt with no cooling finishes applied. Participants reported greater perceived comfort when wearing the t-shirts with the printed cooling technology compared to the control shirts.

“…Problems that start from unchecked mental or mental burdens can cause immediate effects such as job stress, depression, feelings of restlessness and difficulty sleeping (Pinho et al, 2021). Furthermore, it can cause mental health disorders that can potentially result in decreased work productivity (Page and Sheppard, 2016). Job stress is a health problem caused by a discrepancy between the workload and the ability of workers to cope with stress in doing work.…”

Introduction: Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all non-critical sectors require their workers to work remotely, including lecturers. All teaching and learning activities are carried out online. During this period, the problem of psychosocial disorders is of particular concern. Therefore, a study is deemed necessary to analyze what factors contribute to job stress in lecturers working from home during the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a total 0f 111 respondents. This study was conducted through an online survey. The population of this study was lecturers. All data were collected in 2021. Variables in this study were sex, age, working time per day, break time per day, sleep time per day, workout time per week, circadian rhythm, insomnia and work stress. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between sex and job stress also a very weak relationship strength between age, sleep time per day, workout time per week, circadian rhythm, insomnia and job stress. Furthermore, there is a strong, unidirectional relationship between working time and job stress level and a weak relationship between break time per day and job stress level. Conclusion: The conclusion is that all variables except sex have a relationship with job stress but with varying degrees. Further research on this study in different population and different methods is suggested.
