Monthly comparison of WBGT and PHS criteria for RMG factory workers has been analyzed. Whole year heat stress prediction criteria of RMG production space in Dhaka have been examined. Months of May-July indicate high level of PHS criteria for the workers. PHS criteria appear at high risk level (up to 38 °C) in summer. WBGT, tsk and tcr have significant deviation during peak working condition. WBGT and PHS criteria for different exterior walls, orientations and zones have significant deviation (0.98–3.9).
