This study evaluated the thermal conditions faced by workers during brick manufacturing, highlighting a significant increase in temperature and a reduction in relative humidity during the most intense phases of the process. It was identified that the Wet Bulb and Globe Temperature Index (WBGT) exceeded the safety limits, reaching up to 32.47°C, which considerably increased the risk of thermal stress and negatively affected the health of workers, with symptoms reported as exhaustion. due to heat and dehydration. Despite the strategies adopted, such as regular breaks and frequent hydration, the urgent need to implement additional protection and monitoring measures to safeguard the health and safety of employees in these extreme conditions is highlighted.
