Supplementary Material: Occupational Heat Stress in the Construction Industry: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework for Health, Safety, and Productivity in a Changing Climate This supplementary material contains the complete data extraction, quality appraisal, and synthesis of the 34 studies included in the systematic review. The material is organized into five appendices: Appendix A presents the characteristics of the included studies (objectives, countries, and methodological designs).Appendix B summarizes the heat exposure parameters, reported health impacts, and main findings.Appendix C provides the critical appraisal of methodological quality and risk of bias for the 34 studies (based on MMAT and JBI checklists).Appendix D presents the evidence matrix detailing the specific indicators, outcomes, and interventions/technologies for each study.Appendix E provides the thesaurus used for keyword normalization in the VOSviewer software. This supplementary material provides the detailed evidence supporting the classification of heat exposure parameters, the methodological quality assessment, and the thematic synthesis presented in the main manuscript. The complete bibliometric analysis and its results are presented directly in the main manuscript.
