Abstract

The aim of study intends to investigate physiological changes according to workload wearing aluminized firefighter's protective clothing and to provide the base data for the safety of firefighter. The results of the study are as follows. To increase work intensity 4 to 8 METs after experiment (20 min), mean skin temperature change (33.3 %), tympanic temperature change (57.1 %) heart rate (32.5 %), RPE (75.6 %) is statistically significantly higher and thermal Sensation, weight loss are not statistically significant. It was concluded that physiological changes of human body varied considerably by increase of workload wearing aluminized firefighter's protective clothing.

본 연구에서는 소방방열복 착용시 작업강도가 신체에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 소방공무원의 안전을 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 하며 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 제시하면 다음과 같다. 작업종료시(20분)에 작업강도가 4 METs에서 8METs로 증가함에 따라 평균피부온도차(33.3 %), 고막온도차(57.1 %), 심박수(32.5 %), 운동자각도(75.6 %) 등은 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 온냉감과 체중감소는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과 소방방열복 착용시 작업강도의 증가는 신체에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
