Enhancing Workplace Health and Safety With Physiological Monitoring Webinar
Integrating wearable physiological monitoring devices into heat stress management plans has emerged as an innovative solution to evaluate heat strain. Employing physiological monitoring for workers exposed to heat can provide individual-level data to allow health and safety decisions to be made based on workers’ physiological responses, complementing other heat stress mitigation strategies. This webinar will highlight the use of physiological monitoring in heat stress management, explore the advantages and disadvantages, and dive into the key factors to consider when implementing physiological monitoring systems to evaluate heat strain.
Registration will close 09:00 a.m. CT on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
