Heat Shielding: Case Study of Heat Stress Mitigation in High-Temperature Work Environments in Factories

Examples of protecting workers from radiant heat in workplaces handling high-temperature materials.

We would like to introduce an example of improving heat stress measures by placing a heat-insulating sheet (non-combustible type) between high-temperature objects and workers to protect workers from radiant heat. There was a challenge: "We want to protect workers handling high-temperature objects from heat and implement heat stress measures." In response, a heat-insulating sheet was installed like a partition between the high-temperature objects and the workers. As a result, an easy-to-implement heat stress measure was executed to protect the workers. By suspending it with wires or securing it to movable partitions or safety fences, it can be easily removed during maintenance, allowing for installation that adapts to the factory's flexibility. [Example] ■ Challenge: We want to protect workers from high-temperature objects (implement heat stress measures) ■ Measure: Use high-performance aluminum heat-insulating sheets as partitions *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
