Abstract
Currently, the country's unpredictably high temperatures are major source of concern for outdoors workers. Because this element has the potential to affect worker productivity, research into both working time and temperature becomes a great interest. Aside from that, both factor studies will determine the best work schedule for construction workers to avoid heat stress. The investigation was completed using two methods: interviewing and site observation. The optimum recipe for worker productivity was discovered during the interview by the site specialist. After obtaining the correct formula, a site inspection was carried out. During the site observation, a few variables were recorded, including average temperature, working time range, and worker output for three different types of work: bar bending, rebar wall installation, and tile installation. The effect of heat stress on three types of work is investigated. Then there was a comparison of worker productivity in two different sorts of jobs. Based on the findings, the best working pattern has been identified. Then there was a comparison of worker productivity in two different sorts of jobs. The best working pattern that adds the most to worker productivity was discovered as a result of the investigation. Finally, obtaining the requirements for a successful project as well as an optimal work pattern achieves both objectives.
Highlights
Climate change has resulted in an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme temperatures during the last decade [1]
To establish a link between heat stress and worker productivity, this type of analysis was carried out using Excel tools
The top two formulas from the previous research will be included in the question to design the work pattern of productivity in goal two, and one of the formulae chosen by the interviewees will be the main formula to calculate worker productivity
Summary
Climate change has resulted in an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme temperatures during the last decade [1]. Employees in the construction industry have traditionally had a substantially higher risk of work-related illnesses and accidents than workers in other industries or the public sector [2] This is caused by working in hot conditions or a high level of heat stress in the atmosphere. Heat waves have an impact on employee health and productivity [3] These concerns are related to a study looking into the link between heat stress and worker productivity over the course of a working day. The Malaysia Productivity Blueprint, which was launched on May 8, 2017 in Putrajaya by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, established a minimum aim of 3.7 percent annual worker productivity growth by 2020 He writes to the appropriate ministry, agency, and private sector to inform. The data collection began in March 2019 and continued until September 2019, when all of the information needed to meet the goal was gathered
