We examined availability of urinary 17-KS-S to evaluate work and job strain by presented the results in two field research and one experiment. It became clear that urinary S/OH was a comprehensive parameter of thermal strain, under the combined load condition of temperature and exercise, and as an additional factor, under the various load conditions of air velocity. Significant changes of urinary S/OH before and after the rest break and holiday suggested that the findings reflected fatigue conditions. This suggestion was strongly supported by the finding that the values of urinary S/OH on the first day-off after a mid-night shift and those 1 to 3 days later were not able to recover to the value before the night shift. A ratio between urinary 17-KS-S and 17-OHCS, S/OH, suggests a method of evaluating the degree of strain and the condition of fatigue and over-fatigue by measuring these parameters and thus clarifying the work conditions and work-place environment.

D005221 Fatigue The state of weariness following a period of exertion, mental or physical, characterized by a decreased capacity for work and reduced efficiency to respond to stimuli. Lassitude
D006358 Hot Temperature Presence of warmth or heat or a temperature notably higher than an accustomed norm. Heat,Hot Temperatures,Temperature, Hot,Temperatures, Hot
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013312 Stress, Physiological The unfavorable effect of environmental factors (stressors) on the physiological functions of an organism. Prolonged unresolved physiological stress can affect HOMEOSTASIS of the organism, and may lead to damaging or pathological conditions.

D014937 Work Productive or purposeful activities.
D015065 17-Hydroxycorticosteroids A group of hydroxycorticosteroids bearing a hydroxy group at the 17-position. Urinary excretion of these compounds is used as an index of adrenal function. They are used systemically in the free alcohol form, but with esterification of the hydroxy groups, topical effectiveness is increased. 17 Hydroxycorticosteroids
D015068 17-Ketosteroids Steroids that contain a ketone group at position 17. 17-Oxosteroids,17 Ketosteroids,17 Oxosteroids
D016273 Occupational Exposure The exposure to potentially harmful chemical, physical, or biological agents that occurs as a result of one's occupation. Exposure, Occupational,Exposures, Occupational,Occupational Exposures
