Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Heat-related disorders, productivity falling and safety problems are common phenomena when people working in hot and humid environments. In this research, the physiological parameters (oral temperature, heart rate and blood pressure) of people working in hot and humid environments were obtained. Based on the physiological limits, the safe work times in different conditions were determined. Then Cox regression method was adopted to determine and rank the significant covariates. The hazard function, survival function curve and hazard function curve were also obtained. The results show the effectives of Cox regression method in analyzing safe work time in hot and humid environments.
