To obtain basic data for prevention of heat stroke during construction work in a hot environment, we analyzed the effects of wearing ventilated work wear (VWW) and the sweat rate (SR), the rate of water intake (RWI), and body weight loss (RBWL) in experiments of an artificial climate chamber and outside construction site in August. We supposed there is a limit to the amount of water that workers in a construction site can drink. Thus, we verified that RBWL increased with increasing WBGT mainly due to insufficient RWI, but could be partly decreased by using VWW, which decreased the SR.
