Description
Rising global temperatures threaten workers worldwide, especially in outdoor and indoor industries like
construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and mining. The current guidelines for reducing heat-related
risks in these sectors lag behind those in sports and military settings. The objective of this study is to
map applicable strategies across various sectors and summarize preventive strategies and methodologies. A scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and
Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. PubMed and ScienceDirect were searched for
articles on internal, external, and administrative interventions. In total, 5,280 articles published between
January 2020 and March 2024 were initially identified. Following a meticulous screening process, 49
articles were selected for in-depth review in this study. Notably, a considerable proportion (56%) of these
studies focused on external interventions. This review revealed that a multifaceted approach is necessary
to enhance the decision-making process for effectively addressing heat stress, regardless of occupational
settings. This approach encompasses considerations of environmental factors, individual physiological
aspects, and cooling methods. The review also highlighted limitations in effective and practical heat
stress prevention strategies across various industry sectors, including the absence of dietary guideline
