Wet Bulb-Globe Temperature Kit

A Wet Bulb-Globe Temperature (WBGT) Kit is a type of hazard-detecting instrument and apparatus that falls under the supply class Hazard-Detecting Instruments And Apparatus in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

The WBGT Kit is used to measure the Wet Bulb-Globe Temperature, which is a composite temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, and radiant heat on humans. It is commonly used in occupational health and safety assessments, particularly in environments where heat stress is a concern.

The kit typically includes a handheld device that measures the various components of WBGT, such as a wet bulb thermometer, a globe thermometer, and a dry bulb thermometer. These thermometers are used to measure the ambient temperature, the natural wet bulb temperature, and the radiant heat from the sun or other sources, respectively.

By taking measurements with the WBGT Kit, occupational health and safety professionals can assess the risk of heat-related illnesses and determine appropriate measures to prevent heat stress in the workplace. This may include adjusting work schedules, providing adequate hydration, and implementing cooling measures.

Overall, the WBGT Kit is an essential tool for monitoring and managing heat stress in various occupational settings, such as construction sites, factories, and outdoor work environments.
