This assessment reveals effective work-rest scheduling can maintain safety in hot environments across different age and sex groups.
Continuous work to IST was reduced during afternoon work following morning work but was restored the next morning across sex and age groups. When applied after IST, prescribed work-rest cycles effectively maintained core temperature near safety limits. These findings highlight the need to consider work timing and worker characteristics when planning work in hot environments.
