Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Performance testing for improving the level of respiratory protection in a fire brigade

Notas: Sumario: Measurements under laboratory conditions of the total inward leakages of a compressed air breathing apparatus, worn by 49 firemen, show that 16 of the firemen had minimum protection factors smaller than 2000. The influence of beards, sideburns, long hair and anthropometry on the efficiency of the respiratory protection has been stablished. Based on this performance testing, suggestions for improving the protection level of each fireman could be given, after which all firemen with one exception obtained minimum protection factors higher than 2000Registros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, 1978 ; p. 351-361Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Equipos respiratorios Equipos de protección individual Bomberos Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Otros autores: Spindler, L.
