Cardiovascular and Thermal Strain during Manual Work in Cold Weather
In some occupations it is hard to protect the hands against the severe weather conditions in wintertime due to the requirement to maintain manual dexterity. Decrease in temperature of the hands increases risk of cold injury and deteriorates muscle function and manual dexterity, which in turn decreases productivity. A series of field and lab studies were performed to investigate cold stress and ...
متن کاملThermal-work strain in law enforcement personnel during chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) training
BACKGROUND Thermal safety standards for the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) ensembles have been established for various US occupations, but not for law enforcement personnel. OBJECTIVES We examined thermal strain levels of 30 male US law enforcement personnel who participated in CBRN field training in Arizona, Florida, and Massachusetts. METHODS Physiological r...
متن کاملThe Effect of Wearing a Cooling Vest to Alleviate Thermal Strain during Moderate Intensity Work
In the heat, a positive body heat storage and the associated increase in core body temperature elicit the reflex physiological thermoregulatory mechanisms of sweating and cutaneous vasodilation in order to enhance heat dissipation. However under circumstances where these mechanisms cannot facilitate a sufficiently high rate of heat loss, core body temperature continually rises, and if left unch...
متن کاملHuman Thermal-Work Strain Performance Optimization from Wearable Physiological Sensors
of “Human Thermal-Work Strain Performance Optimization from Wearable Physiological Sensors” by Mark J. Buller, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2015. Hot environments pose a risk of heat illness for many emergency workers, athletes, and other professions especially when heavy workloads or protective clothing are necessary. Modern wearable physiological monitors may be able to mitigate risk of heat ...
متن کاملSurveillance of Disease and Nonbattle Injuries During US Army Operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Disease and nonbattle injury (DNBI) are the leading causes of morbidity during wars and military operations. However, adequate medical data were never before available to service public health centers to conduct DNBI surveillance during deployments. This article describes the process, results and lessons learned from centralized DNBI surveillance by the US Army Center for Health Promotion and P...
