Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Responses to repeated days of light work at moderate temperatures in protective clothing

Notes: Sumario: This study assessed workers' ability to sustain work output over four consecutive workdays in encapsulating protective clothing. Six subjects wearing a two-piece protective clothing ensemble cycled at a work rate of 38 W in a 29/22ºC ambient temperature. Work was alternated with rest for four hours total. Contrary to expectations, mean work time did not diminish on succeeding days. Subject responses to the repeated exposures was highly variable and in no case changed significantly from day one to day four. Subjects tolerated well repeated four-hour exposures with controlled elevations in Tre. There was no clear evidence of either increased or decreased tolerance of this work-rest paradigm across daysRelated records: En: American Industrial Hygiene Association journal. - Fairfax, Virginia. - Vol. 55, nº 1, January 1994 ; p. 16-19Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Equipos de protección individual Ropas Ambiente térmico Muestreos Condiciones de trabajo Fatiga Estrés térmico Otros autores: Solomon, Janet
