Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Adaptation to discomfort in personal protective devices : an example with safety helmets

Notes: Sumario: Discomfort in the use of personal protective devices (PPD) has been one of the chief causes of their non-use. A field trial using industrial helmets was carried out to ascertain whether by training and repeated wearing subjects could experience a significant adaptation to discomfort. In relation to inherent discomforts that are extremely difficult to overcome without compromising the protection efficiency of a PPD, the principle of adaptation seems to be a very important facet which has to be developed for an effective PPD programmeRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 33, nº 2, February 1990 ; p. 137-145Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Condiciones de trabajo Equipos de protección individual Cascos de protección Diseño Otros autores: Shahnavaz, Houshang
