The Kestrel 5400 heat stress meter is purpose-built for workplace heat stress management. It measures Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and Thermal Work Limit (TWL) — the two primary heat stress indices used by Safe Work Australia and Australian mining and construction safety standards — alongside the full suite of 5 Series environmental parameters.
WBGT measurement combines air temperature, humidity, and radiant heat to give a single figure that directly correlates with heat strain on the human body. Supervisors use it to make work/rest cycle decisions and set exposure limits for outdoor workers during hot weather. The 5400 is compact, intuitive, and data-logging capable — making it the practical choice for safety managers across mining, construction, agriculture, and event management in Western Australia. Available from Hinco, Perth’s authorised Kestrel distributor.
