Occupational strains – a: Duration of deployment correlates with excessive sweat; myoelectric sensors start to usually fail due to sweat (purple line) after 10 min of bodily exertion, a third of a minimal duration of a death scene investigation; after 1 h working on scene, excessive sweating occurs in 50% of all cases and before 2 hours are reached in all cases; logistic regression (blue curve) indicates that excessive sweating occurs in over  85% of cases with duration of deployment over 1,5 hours; Chi-Square LR p < 0.001. b: Half of the non-remote but all of the remote locations generated excessive sweating (Chi Square LR p=0.0036). c: When undressing a body was a requirement, excessive sweating occurred in 60% of the cases but just in 25% when body was found naked (Fisher’s Exact Test: n.s
