    The purpose of this study is to assess the preferred temperature
    (Tpref) of human participants exposed to air-conditioned temperature variations in
    climate chamber experiments. Findings were later compared with an earlier Tpref
    experiment by de Dear et. al. (1991). Twenty nine healthy college-age participants
    underwent thirty minutes of preconditioned session before casting their thermal
    preference and thermal sensation votes every 10 minutes for the remaining 150
    minutes of the experiment. These affective votes were correlated against average of
    ambient air temperature and participant's body temperature taken 30 minutes
    before the experiment ends. The mean Tpref was 25.1°C (± 1.2), mean skin
    temperature of 33.7°C (± 0.6) and mean body temperature of 36.3°C (±0.3). It can
    be concluded that Tpref gathered in the preferred temperature experiment shows
    significant difference in participants’ temperature preference which was 0.6 °C
    cooler than earlier experiment suggesting change in how indoor ambient
    temperature is preferred. In addition, mean skin temperature and gender did not
    influence participants’ Tpref.

    This is a conceptual paper to study the factors that affect the
    safety practitioner’s perception towards safety and health risk assessment,
    namely HIRARC at oil palm plantation. Retrospective safety and health data
    were obtained and analysed. Factors identified were both confusions on
    hazard description and interpretation of risk assessment matrix. This paper
    will examine those factors and make recommendations for future research in
    Malaysia.
