25、zation for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establishe
26、d has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
27、International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Pub
28、lication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
29、 rights. ISO 15265 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5, Ergonomics of the physical environment. ENISO15265:2004IS:56251 O4002(E) I SO 4002 All irthgs ersedevr vIntroduction This International Standard is one of a series intended for use in the estimation of
30、the thermal environment. It was developed by ISO/TC 159/SC 5/WG 1, Thermal environments on the basis of the results of the BIOMED II “HEAT STRESS” research project conducted with the support of the European Union. Other standards of this series describe how the parameters influencing human thermoreg
31、ulation in a given environment must be estimated or quantified. Others specify how these parameters must be integrated in order to predict the degree of discomfort or the health risk in these environments. The present document was prepared to standardize the methods that occupational health speciali
32、sts should use to approach a given problem related to stress and discomfort in thermal working conditions and progressively collect the information needed to control or prevent the problem.

33、onomics of the thermal environment Risk assessment strategy for the prevention of stress or discomfort in thermal working conditions 1 Scope This International Standard describes a strategy for assessing and interpreting the risk of physiological constraints, or of discomfort, while working in a giv
34、en climatic environment. It is applicable in any working situation with steady or varying conditions of the climate, metabolic rate or clothing. This International Standard does not describe a single procedure, but a strategy in three stages that can be used successively to gain deeper insight in th
35、e working conditions, as it is needed to draw the most appropriate conclusions about the risk involved and identify the best control and prevention measures. It is definitely oriented towards the prevention and/or control of these working problems in the heat or cold. The risk of heat or cold disord
36、ers and/or discomfort is therefore assessed only to the extent that it is required to reach this goal. However, users must comply with national legislations that may require that risk assessment be performed more systematically. As the strategy is oriented towards prevention and the design of the wo
37、rking conditions, it concerns an average subject. At the last step of each stage of the strategy, interindividual differences are taken into consideration through medical supervision (in the short term) and surveillance (in the long term). The International Standards on which this strategy is based
38、include, however, already some degree of safety, as their limits and/or recommendations tend to protect the majority of the fit workers. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

40、e assessment of the risks linked to the thermal working environment is not to quantify the risks, but to prevent or to eliminate, or at least to reduce, the risks. The number of working situations with thermal problems is high and it would be utopian and not practical to require to study them all in
41、 detail. This would actually be useless, since, in the majority of cases, solutions can be found easily, based on simple and straightforward Observations. In some cases, however, a more detailed Analysis is necessary, including measurements, and in some particular cases, an Expertise can be required
42、, based on more sophisticated evaluation techniques. The strategy is therefore based on a progressive approach in three stages with the characteristics summarised in Table 1. The method was prepared to determine whether, and in what circumstances, there is a problem and to collect the information ju
43、st needed to eliminate it, or at least, to improve the condition.

45、erage Average High Low Specialised Stage 1 Observation is to be conducted by people from the company with full knowledge of the working conditions but without necessarily a training in ergonomics. Its aim is to characterise the working situation in all circumstances, during the day and during the wh
46、ole year, and not at a specific time. Stage 2 Analysis is conducted by the same persons with the assistance of specialists with a specific training in ergonomics of the thermal environment. It will deal with the working situation in particular circumstances (summer, night, .) identified during the f
47、irst stage and will require common measurements. Stage 3 Expertise is conducted by the same persons, with the additional assistance of experts highly specialised. It will deal with highly complex thermal working circumstances and require sophisticated or special measurements. ENISO15265:2004IS:56251
