Associate Professor Jason Lee, director of the NUS Heat Resilience and Performance Centre, explained that people have different thresholds for heat, depending on their age and occupational exposure.<\/p>\n

As temperatures rise, vulnerable groups such as the elderly and outdoor workers will suffer more compromise from heat stress. The rest of society will also feel the ill effects of excess heat, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeat is compromising us in ways that we are not even aware,\u201d Prof Lee said. \u201cLack of outdoor incidental physical activity, lack of free vitamin D, exacerbating mental health, poor eye health, because we don\u2019t make use of the sunlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Jaime Lim, director of the Occupational Safety and Health Specialists Department at the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), also\u00a0<\/p>\n

highlighted how MOM is trying to protect outdoor workers.<\/p>\n

MOM\u2019s science-based heat stress framework for outdoor workers mandates that when the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) reaches 32 deg C or above, workers be given a minimum 10-minute break for each hour of physical exertion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
