由于工作的艰苦性质、高温工作条件和不断变化的气候，建筑工人患热应激的风险增加。越来越多的工人面临风险，因为该行业的增长一直受到高需求和大量移民工人进入美国、中东和亚洲以满足需求的推动。由于目前几乎没有规定和/或没有执行保护这些工人的规定，与热有关的疾病的风险增加了。本综述通过总结美国和国际上的流行病学研究认识到这些问题。这些研究评估了建筑工人受热应激影响的严重程度、建筑行业中与热相关疾病相关的风险因素和合并症、弱势群体以及实施预防措施的努力。
Construction workers are at an elevated risk of heat stress, due to the strenuous nature of the work, high temperature work condition, and a changing climate. An increasing number of workers are at risk, as the industry’s growth has been fueled by high demand and vast numbers of immigrant workers entering into the U.S., the Middle East and Asia to meet the demand. The risk of heat-related illnesses is increased by the fact that little to no regulations are present and/or enforced to protect these workers. This review recognizes the issues by summarizing epidemiological studies both in the U.S. and internationally. These studies have assessed the severity with which construction workers are affected by heat stress, risk factors and co-morbidities associated with heat-related illnesses in the construction industry, vulnerable populations, and efforts in implementing preventive measures.
