Abstract

Heat Strain is an acute or chronic impact caused by exposure to heat stress experienced by a person from both physical and mental aspects. Preliminary studies conducted on 20 workers using the HSSI (Heat Strain Score Index) method found that 11 people (55%) did not experience heat strains and 9 people (45%) experienced heat strains. The physical effects of heat strains range from minor complaints such as skin rashes to fainting to life-threatening situations when there is a cessation of sweat and heatstroke. This research was conducted with quantitative research methods with a cross-sectional study design using primary data on 59 workers. Research variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of the bivariate analysis found a relationship between heat stress, age, and hydration status with heat strain. While the variables of obesity and chronic disease have no relationship with heat strain.
