Abstract
Abstract Binh Duong is a locality with strong economic growth in the region and attracts a lot of workers across the country. This study was conducted to assess heat-related health risks for employees in Binh Duong province in 2020 by the heat index and wet bulb globe temperature. The results indicate that the HI of 12 months is very high, between 34°C and 61°C. Most months are classified as dangerous levels of II-IV that affect workers’ health, especially in June, October, and November. The WBGT values are also light high, ranging from 31°C to 42°C, exceeding the limitation value of WBGT regulated at QCVN 26:2016/BYT for all kinds of works, even with the exposing time being below 25% of working time. Research results indicate that heat hazards from solar energy are of great concern in working conditions.
