Summary, etc. The aim of this study was to determine the level of heat stress and potential of heat strain among construction workers. The level of heat stress was measured by using environmental monitoring QUESTemp°34 Thermal Environmental Monitor and HSSI questionnaire. A questionnaire known as Heat Strain Score Index (HSSI) was used to determine the heat strain index among construction workers. The results of the study showed that the average environmental parameter was exceeded the ACGIH threshold limit value of 32.7℃. The highest humidity value was 48%. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship of heat stress exposure and heat strain score index. It can be concluded that there was no correlation between heat stress exposure level and heat strain score index as proved by the statistical finding in this study. The study also highlights the need to conduct future study by broaden and diverse the sample size, including vary and adding more workstation or working area for better understanding on the different dynamics of heat stress in construction industry. In this study, proved that there was no significant relationship between environmental heat stress and score in heat strain score index. Majority of the score obtained from the questionnaire, shown that all respondents have no issue working in a hot climate and proved that they have fully acclimatize with the environment. The process of acclimatization takes usually 14 days, which the individual body try to adjust with a gradual change in their surrounded environment and allow the body to maintain performance throughout working in a continuous change of environment. The WBGT adjusted result shown most of the value obtained for each workstation was exceed the threshold limit and action limit stated by ACGIH and it proved that the workers are prone to high risk of the occurrence of heat stress.
