A screening framework for critical movements in the ergonomic evaluation of personal protective clothing: validation in pilot immersion-resistant winter protective suits
This research aims to develop and validate a framework for the ergonomic evaluation of personal protective clothing (PPE).
Developed a standardized screening framework for evaluating ergonomic aspects of PPE.
Validated the framework in pilot immersion-resistant winter protective suits.
Applied the framework in various occupational settings to test adaptability.
Demonstrated increased effectiveness in identifying ergonomic issues in PPE.
Achieved significant feedback from users in high-risk occupational settings.
Improved safety and comfort perceptions among users of the evaluated suits.
Abstract
The proposed framework offers a standardized, efficient tool for ergonomic screening that can be adapted to various types of PPE and high-risk occupational settings.
