WBGT Heat Stress Sensor

HSS-100

Category:

Protect your workforce from heat-related risks with E4A's advanced Heat Stress Sensor - a cutting-edge device designed to help you manage heat stress with precision. Using Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), this sensor provides real-time environmental readings that factor in temperature, humidity, and radiant heat. More than just a sensor, it intelligently analyzes work conditions and offers clear guidance on individual cooling periods and recommended break schedules, promoting safe productivity in hot environments.

Ideal for construction sites, correctional facilities, industrial facilities, and warehouse facilities, this device ensures compliance with safety regulations and supports proactive health and performance management.
