Keywords:
Occupational heat stress, hot and humid climate, physiological responses, risk factors, mitigation strategiesAbstract
Warehouse workers in hot and humid regions face increasing risks of occupational heat stress, yet limited research has focused on indoor industrial environments compared to outdoor sectors. This scoping review aimed to explore existing evidence on heat stress-related risk factors, physiological responses and mitigation strategies among industrial workers in warehouse settings.
