Intervention group
Control group
40 farmworkers will be randomized to receive the workplace- and individual-level interventions developed in collaboration with study partners (e.g., provision of hydration packs to participants). Participants will receive the intervention at the workplace and will be monitored for five weeks after the intervention to evaluate the efficacy in reducing perceived and physiological heat stress.
40 farmworkers will be randomized to receive no intervention, and will continue their work as normal. These farmworkers will be monitored for the same period as the intervention group to assess perceived and physiological heat stress.
