title: [Control of cardiac frequency in work activity at risk of thermal stress].
abstract: The working time in work places termically uncomfortable must be limited in order to prevent the risk of thermal stress; the safe exposure times are based on the microclimatic parameters and the energetic expenditure required for the job. Hearth rate measure is proposed by various Authors as index connected with the energetic expenditure level and with the microclimatic conditions. In the present work the Authors realise the monitoring of a job uncomfortable for thermal conditions by means of the hearth rate measure of the workers. The results show the better accuracy of the purposed method in comparison with the application of the safe exposure times.
