Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the identification, elimination and reduction of barriers to the use of personal respiratory protective equipment (RPE) in the workplace to reduce and prevent occupational inhalation disease. Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is widely used in industry, health, emergency response, military settings and many other applications and are in daily use by thousands of people in Australasia. The equipment is generally used to filter or ab/adsorb the contaminants from the air prior to delivery to the wearer by filtering or ad/absorbing contaminants from the air pr

Abstract:

Human surrogates are representations of living humans, commonly adopted to better understand human response to impacts. Though surrogates have been widely used in automotive, defence and medical industries with varying levels of biofidelity, their primary application in the sporting goods industry has been through primitive rigid anvils used in assessing personal protective equipment (PPE) effectiveness. In sports, absence from competition is an important severity measure and soft tissue injuries such as contusions and lacerations are serious concerns. Consequently, impact surrogates for the s

Abstract:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) indicates protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury, in particular they are used to dissipate the energy of the impact in case of accidents. Most of PPE items should pass certain standard criteria before being introduced into the market. Moreover, beside standards, biomechanical injury criteria can be used to compare different PPE items according to the human body tolerance against external loading. Energy absorbing materials with higher capacity of energy dissipation can improve

The aim was to improve on existing testing protocols making them more representative of real life, an approach that has not been previously attempted in the literature and so required design of multiple items of novel equipment.

Motorcyclists (including moped riders) are the most vulnerable road users in terms of injury protection. Though the head and the extremities are the most affected body parts in motorcycle accidents, the occurrence of serious to fatal injuries is often due to the injuries in the cervical spine according to the literature. Although a variety of neck braces exists in the market to protect the neck from being injured in motorcycle accidents, the effectiveness of those neck braces is not clear due to the lack of scientific evidence of the injury reduction.

Abstract:

Firefighting is a strenuous occupation that requires high-intensity work, resulting in prolonged periods of stress and physical exertion. The physical demand of performing firefighting tasks is augmented by the weight of personal protective equipment (PPE) worn (i.e., load carriage: LC) and the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). These factors have been shown to increase metabolic demand at submaximal workloads and decrease maximal aerobic capacity in laboratory settings. However, there is limited research evaluating the effects of these factors on occupational performance. The

During the design of sports equipment, the main focus is usually on physical performance attributes, neglecting key subjective factors such as feel and comfort.

Using cricket leg guards and taekwondo chest guards as an example, this study aimed to develop a systematic method for assessing user perceptions and incorporating them into the d

Abstract:

Exposure to certain bloodborne pathogens can prematurely end a person’s life.

Despite this, some HCWs fail to consistently use PPE as required by federal regulation, accrediting agencies, hospital policy, and professional association standards.

Digital human models (DHMs) provide a powerful tool for HSI, but modeling-and-simulation tools, let alone DHMs, have rarely been used with body armor. With respect to analysis, this is changing.

With origins in skateboard and surfing culture, snowboarding has grown to become a mainstream recreational and professional sport, officially recognized in the Olympic Games. This popularity can be attributed to several factors, including the sub-culture of rebellion and self-expression it embodies and the daring, dynamic aerial maneuvers and stunts often portrayed in the media. However, the sport also exposes participants to a well-documented injury pattern, with injuries rates typically twice as frequent as those seen in skiing. While a number of studies have shown existing snowboarding safe

Abstract:

A formação de professores de Física e de Química, nomeadamente a formação académica no que concerne às áreas da Segurança e da Gestão de Laboratórios, é reduzida. Partindo desta realidade, e com a ambição de minimizar essa lacuna e auxiliar o desempenho dos professores, pretende-se produzir uma compilação legislativa essencial/fundamental nos laboratórios escolares complementada com o respetivo manual de segurança. Este trabalho consiste, assim, na compilação da legislação e do tipo de materiais a utilizar na construção e apetrechamento dos laboratórios, assim como das normas de segurança apli

Abstract:

The article deals with the issues of predicting special purpose knitted fabrics properties. We suggest solving this problem by designing a 3D geometric model of a knitwear structure. The proposed technique has been used to design a 3D model of a double-layered knitwear structure, which is used for ballistic protective clothing manufacturing.<br>В статье рассматривается проблема прогнозирования свойств трикотажных полотен технического назначения.

Abstract:

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the awareness surrounding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has increased considerably. The term PPE has become more commonplace, as well as general knowledge about what it is and why it is used. The sector of safety was highly influenced with shortage of supplies. Companies had to adjust their internal processes and methods to respond to the new market necessities. At the same time, PPE is being affected by innovative products and processes. Companies became more competitive with research and product development, and this brings value

Abstract:

In healthcare, personal protective equipment (PPE) are sometimes misused due to improper skill acquisition or skill decay before clinical practice. Training is often didactic or web-based but it is unclear whether these methods transfer to effective physical performance. There is no standard method to evaluate these competencies and scheduling or space restrictions can limit physical practice. A Delphi survey produced relevant checklist and global rating items for evaluating use of PPE. Principles from skill learning and human-computer interaction were combined with the survey results to devel

The purpose of this study was to find out problems encountered by Foskor Mine workers in Phalaborwa with the use of personal protective equipment and also to find out how these problems can be prevented or solved. A quantitative research study was done using a questionnaire as a data gathering tool on workers who are exposed to occupational injuries and illnesses and who use personal protective equipment for their protection. The findings revealed that even though workers were using personal protective equipment they still got occupational injuries and illnesses. They also had problems with th
