移徙工人和季节性农场工人中与热有关的疾病是一种职业风险，可通过工人个人和主管采取不同的缓解策略加以解决。这项试点研究的目的是描述农场工人的经验与HRI预防策略和评估HRI信息寻求偏好，特别是使用移动的手机应用程序来访问这些信息的可行性。在南卡罗来纳州，对西班牙裔农场工人进行了五个焦点小组的管理。问题包括以下主题：健康信息寻求偏好;农场工人对职业风险的看法;应对策略;过去与HRI的经验;水，休息和阴凉处的做法;获得医疗保健;以及雇主提供的培训。各小组一致认为，最有可能患上人权感染的工人不是没有经验，就是在该领域工作的新工人。农场工人把在高温下工作时对自己的健康负责更多地看作是个人因素，而不是雇主的责任。农场工人接受了OSHA热安全工具应用程序的培训，并对教育内容和温度信息警告提供了积极的反馈。这些研究结果表明，潜在的监督员采取更积极的作用，热安全教育使用移动的技术。
Heat-related illness (HRI) among migrant and seasonal farmworkers is an occupational risk addressed through varying mitigation strategies by individual workers and supervisors. The purpose of this pilot study was to describe farmworkers’ experience with HRI prevention strategies and assess HRI information seeking preferences, especially the feasibility of using mobile phone apps to access this information. Five focus groups were administered to Hispanic farmworkers in South Carolina. Questions included the following topics: health information seeking preferences; farmworkers’ perceptions of occupational risks; coping strategies; past experiences with HRIs; water, rest, and shade practices; access to health care; and any employer-provided training received. There was consensus across the groups that the workers at highest risk for HRIs were either inexperienced or new workers in the fields. Farmworkers ascribed responsibility for one’s well-being while working in the heat more as an individual factor than as an employer’s responsibility. Farmworkers received training on the OSHA Heat Safety Tool app and provided positive feedback about the educational content and temperature information warnings. These findings suggest the potential for supervisors to take a more active role in heat safety education using mobile technology.
