Workers’ exposure to occupational heat during manual coffee harvesting. Ciência Rural, Santa Maria, v. 51, n. 11, p. 1-4, nov. 2021.1678-4596http://doi.org/10.1590/0103-8478cr20200556http://www.sbicafe.ufv.br/handle/123456789/12880This study evaluated the occupational exposure of workers to heat during manual harvesting of coffee. The case study was conducted between May to August. Occupational heat in coffee plantations was evaluated using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) method and the metabolic rate. The WBGT was obtained using the TGD 400 thermal stress meter. The determined WBGT values were compared to two standards: the Occupational Hygiene Standard (NHO) 06 and Regulatory Norm (NR) 09. For acclimatized workers, the exposure limit was not exceeded at any time during the evaluated period. Fornon-acclimatized workers, the exposure limit was not exceeded only in July.pdfenOpen AccessAclimatizaçãoCalor ocupacionalIBUTGCafeicultura::Colheita, pós-colheita e armazenamentoArtigo
