Heat Stress Evaluation of Two-layer Chemical Demilitarization Ensembles with a Full Face Negative Pressure Respirator
The purpose of this study was to examine the heat stress effects of three protective clothing ensembles: (1) protective apron over cloth coveralls including full face negative pressure respirator (APRON); (2) the apron over cloth coveralls with respirator plus protective pants (APRON+PANTS); and (3) protective coveralls over cloth coveralls with respirator (PROTECTIVE COVERALLS). In addition, t...

There is little doubt that heat stress aects many workers adversely and that protective clothing generally adds to the burden. The ACGIH threshold limit value for heat stress is the guiding document for evaluation of heat stress in the United States. Adjustment factors have been used to re ̄ect the change in heat stress imposed by dierent clothing ensembles. While the ®rst proposed factors sta...
متن کاملThe effects of wearing respirators on human fine motor, visual, and cognitive performance.
UNLABELLED When selecting a respirator, it is important to understand how employees' motor, visual and cognitive abilities are impacted by the personal protective equipment. This study compares dust, powered-air-purifying and full-face, negative-pressure respirators. Thirty participants performed three varied tasks. Each participant performed each task without a respirator and while wearing the...
متن کاملEvaluation of half-face respirator fit in an Iranian petrochemical company's workers
Introduction: The performance of respirator-face piece is depending on a good contact between the worker's face and the respirator. Improper sealing can cause reduction in performance of respirators to protect health and safety of workers against risks related to chemical agents at work. This study is aimed to evaluate the fitness of half-face respirators and other related factors on it in an...
متن کاملHeadform and N95 filtering facepiece respirator interaction: contact pressure simulation and validation.
This article presents a computational and experimental study of contact pressure between six N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and five newly developed digital headforms (small, medium, large, long/narrow, and short/wide). Contact interaction is simulated using the finite element method and validated by experiments using a pressure mapping system. The headform model has multiple layers...
