LoginProductivity is one of the most important factors affecting the overall performance of any organization. Productivity is defined as the ratio output divided by the input used to produce the output. The output refers to products and services produced by an organization (2). Increased attention has been paid to the relationship between the work environment and productivity in the 1990s. Laboratory and field studies show that the air quality and thermal conditions at work may have a notable impact on the performance of the occupants, and consequently on labor productivity (1,3,4). This relationship, however, has been insufficiently explored. The aim of the study was to assess quantitatively the effect of indoor climate on labor productivity in a shipping storage where heavy zinc bars were handled. The further aim of the study was to investigate the methods suitable for assessing the effect of indoor climate on labor productivity.
