Work breaks for older workers in hot conditions
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how work breaks and schedules can help older workers stay safe and cool during hot days. If you join, you'll do some box-carrying tasks in the heat to help researchers find better ways to protect workers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
