Abstract: |
Rising global temperature imposes risks to public health, including outdoor workers. The risk of heat-related injuries or illness for outdoor workers is more prevalent for informal workers working outdoors such as street vendors, due to the lack of protection for those working in an informal setting. This research aims to assess the exposure to heat and the risks of heat-related illness among informal workers in Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants in this study were 68 informal street vendors working outdoors exposed to the sunlight and have limited to no access to cooling features. To explore the exposure of heat among informal workers, we used Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) method, an index commonly used to measure the health risk from workers and the decreased capacity to work due to the heat exposure and heat stress in their working environment. We also assess the acute physiological change of the worker's body to understand the health effect of heat stress exposure during outdoor work. Specific physical examinations such as heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and respiration rate were carried out two times, during work time and 15 minutes after resting. An objective measure of the heat exposure and the risk of illness related to heat would provide a more informed decision for managing the heat, as Habibi et al. (2021) suggest that anticipating, recognising, evaluating, controlling, researching, risk management and policy development are some crucial tools in dealing with extreme heat exposure. |
