Thermal perception of letter carriers at cdd londrina

Ergonomics has become an important area of knowledge to be applied to the production of products and improving the quality of work. Thermal conditions in the workplace are part of ergonomic studies and must meet certain requirements in order for the sensation of comfort to be pleasant. The factors that contribute to this are air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed and relative humidity, and personal factors, or human variables, are a consequence of the activity carried out and the clothing worn. The clothing's resistance to heat exchange determines its effect on thermal comfort. This book addresses the thermal issues in which letter carriers carry out their activities and the interference of the uniform worn on the feeling of comfort. With clear information, this book presents a synthesis of knowledge on ergonomics and thermal comfort.
