Thermal stress risk assessment using body worn sensors

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code including at least one instruction to:

• receive body ambient temperature data captured by a sensor in contact with a person;
• characterize one or more types of activities performed by the person during a time range associated with the body ambient temperature data;
• and
• determine a risk classification individualized for the person based at least on one or more respective workloads and the corresponding allocations of work and rest experienced by the person during performance of the characterized types of activities.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive body ambient temperature data captured by a sensor in contact with a person;
• characterize one or more types of activities performed by the person during a time range associated with the body ambient temperature data;
• and
• determine a risk classification individualized for the person based at least on one or more respective workloads and the corresponding allocations of work and rest experienced by the person during performance of the characterized types of activities.
