Impacts of gender, weather, and workplace differences in farm worker’s gear
Conclusions: Korean elderly farmers worked in poor surroundings which could threaten their health and safety and seemed not to adjust their workload and clothing during summer harvest season. Thus, it would be necessary to monitor individual responses in order to ensure that the risk of heat stress is prevented. (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)
