Thermal Strains Wearing Aluminized Firefighters’ Clothing
This study examined the influences of aluminized (Type A) and non-aluminized firefighters’ protective clothing (Type B, C, D and CON) on physiological and subjective responses in radiant heat. Total clothing weight was 6.24, 6.38, 6.06, 5.76 and 3.82 kg for Type A, B, C, D and CON, respectively. Eight firefighters performed exercise at an air temperature of 30°C with 50%RH. Three bouts of 10 mi...
متن کاملPhysiological Tolerance Times while Wearing Explosive Ordnance Disposal Protective Clothing in Simulated Environmental Extremes
Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians are required to wear protective clothing to protect themselves from the threat of overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. The engineering requirements to minimise these threats results in an extremely heavy and cumbersome clothing ensemble that increases the internal heat generation of the wearer, while the clothing's thermal properties reduce...
متن کاملThree methods for measuring range of motion while wearing protective clothing: A comparative study
This paper evaluates three methods for objectively measuring ROM while workers are wearing protective clothing: a universal goniometer, a Leighton Flexometer, and an electrogoniometer. Ten male subjects performed a set of nine gross body movements while semi-nude and while wearing each of nine configurations of coveralls. Coveralls varied in relative size and fabric weight, Changes in joint ang...
متن کاملPrediction of duration limited exposure for participants wearing chemical protective clothing in the cold.
The suitability of the IREQ (insulation required) index for predicting the thermal responses of 6 participants wearing chemical protective clothing was tested during exercise at -20 and -25 degrees C. IREQ was used to calculate duration limited exposure (DLE). Measured DLE correlated (r =0.899, p <0.001) with the predicted DLE. In exposures exceeding 40 min, however, the predicted DLE tended to...
متن کاملHeat stress while wearing long pants or shorts under firefighting protective clothing.
It was the purpose of this study to examine whether replacing long pants (P) with shorts (S) would reduce the heat stress of wearing firefighting protective clothing during exercise in a warm environment. Twenty-four Toronto Firefighters were allocated to one of four groups that performed heavy (H, 4.8 km x h(-1), 5% grade), moderate (M, 4.5 km x h(-1), 2.5% grade), light (L, 4.5 km x h(-1)) or...
