work climate

Heat production in the body depends on the body's physical activity, diet, the influence of various chemicals and disturbances in the system thermostat. Thus the human temperature is maintained almost settled (homeothermis) by a temperature control system (thermoregulatory system). Settled temperature is due to equilibrium between the heat generated in the body with its surroundings.
The combination of air temperature, air humidity, air movement velocity and temperature of radiation in a work environment is called climate. If these four factors associated with the production or metabolism of the body heat is called heat stress.
If these factors are not addressed properly will cause the air temperature is too hot at work until there will be a disease such as:
1. Heat Stroke
2. Heat Cramp
3. Heat Exhaustion
4. Heat syncope
5. Dehydration
In restructuring the work area need to be considered many things, and one factor is the flow of air or room temperature. In order not to cause excessive fatigue and discomfort to work, the local job climate in the workplace is set for comfortable fit with the nature of work performed. The recommended temperature in the workplace is 24 ° -26 ° C.
Due to various circumstances in working with different temperatures, then the measurement of the work climate needed some kind of gauge as follows:
1. Psychrometer
     a. Psychrometer Play
     b. Suction psychrometer Arsman
     c. August psychrometer
 2. Globe Thermometer
3. Said Thermometer
4. Temp Quest.
