What Does HSI Stand For?
HSI stands for Heat Stress Index
HSI, or Heat Stress Index, is a measurement used to evaluate the combined effects of temperature and humidity on human comfort and health. It provides insights into the potential risk of heat-related illnesses by indicating the perceived temperature, taking into account environmental factors that can exacerbate heat stress. The HSI is particularly valuable in planning outdoor activities, assessing workplace safety, and implementing preventive measures during extreme weather conditions.
