Abstract
When human body operates some heating equipment, the surface temperature will affect the working efficiency and safety of workers. This study included the critical temperature of skin in contact with a hot solid surface and the method of assessing the risk of burns, that is, the application of the data provided by ergonomics in the process of risk assessment. Through the test results, how to choose a reasonable temperature limit value is put forward, and how to establish the same temperature limit value for different products with the same risk is proposed. The time of intentional and unintentional contact is different. Considering the distribution of human response time, when a healthy adult inadvertently contacts the hot surface, 0.5 s is the safe contact time, while the intentional contact time is longer. It is very necessary to choose the contact time, which can best represent the actual situation of contacting hot products.
