Perceived impact of heat stress on health and productivity of tropical female garment workers– a comparison between cool and hot months
Even a small increase in temperature could compromise workers' health and work productivity. Workers had to seek heat relief measures all year round due to constant exposure to high temperatures and humidity. In face of a warming world, it is therefore pertinent that these heat-induced impacts are addressed to safeguard workers' lives and livelihoods, and to ensure productivity in factories.
