Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Climatic stress in coalmining in Germany : occupational health aspects

Notas: Sumario: Coalmining in Germany is performed in depths as low as 1400 m. Owing to an average thermal gradient of 30 m/K the work underground is burdened by heat stress to which occupational medicine must pay special attention. Therefore heat stress standards and mining safety regulations have been set up not only for coal production but also for mine rescue activities. This specific situation of heat burdened work in the coal mining industry in Germany is discussed under the specific aspects of German coalmining regulationsRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 38, nº 1, January 1995 ; p. 23-35Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Estrés térmico Minas de carbón Ambiente térmico Condiciones de trabajo Temperatura Valores TLV Prevención de accidentes Climatización del aire Gráficos Alemania Títulos secundarios: Título: Ergonomics
