초록

본 연구에서는 화재 현장에서의 소방진압 업무 적합도를 평가하기 위한 소방관 모의작업 프로토콜을 개발하였고 기존의 체력검정법과 평가 방식을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 프로토콜은 모든 소방용 개인보호구를 착용한 채 복사열원 앞에서 3분 동안 걷는 동작을 포함한 총 여덟 가지 동작으로 구성되었으며 5분의 휴식을 사이에 두고 3회 반복되었다. 연구 결과로, 약 30분의 테스트 동안 소방관의 직장온과 심박수는 각각 $38.5^{\circ}C$, 185 bpm까지 상승하였다. 또한 총 소요시간과 연령보정치를 적용하지 않은 기초체력검정 결과는 유의하게 부적 상관관계를 보였다(r = -0.728, p < 0.05). 그러나 진압 경력이 긴 소방관일수록 총 소요시간은 길었던 반면, 총 소요시간과 생리적 부담 수준이 함께 고려된 평가 방식에서는 기초체력검정 결과보다 더 높은 점수를 얻었다. 이러한 결과는 단순하게 소요시간만을 이용한 평가는 생리적 서열부담을 무시할 수 있으며, 소방관 모의작업 프로토콜 이용 시 생리적 부담 수준을 함께 고려할 때에 소방진압 업무 적합도에 대한 보다 심층적인 평가가 가능함을 보여준다.

A firefighting simulation was developed in order to assess the physical work capacity of firefighters. The simulation consisted of eight common firefighting tasks, including walking with radiant heat for 3 min while wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE). Nine professional firefighters performed the test a total of three times with a 5 min rest interval between each session. The entire series of tests took approximately 30 min to complete ($381{\pm}30s$). Rectal temperatures were found to increase from $37.4{\pm}0.3^{\circ}C$ to $38.5{\pm}0.4^{\circ}C$, while heart rates were found to increase from $92{\pm}18bpm$ to $185{\pm}13bpm$ during testing. Time to completion of the test drills and non-modified physical fitness values showed a significantly negative correlation (r = -0.728, p < 0.05). Firefighters who had longer periods of firefighting service had longer duration time and also recorded higher scores using an integrated scoring system of time to completion (TTC) and physiological strain index (PhSI). The results indicated that the determination of TTC alone can be a misrepresentation of capability, as it neglects to account for accumulated heat strain. The simulated firefighting test provided a useful insight into physical fitness level, but also the comprehensive work capacity of the firefighters when assessed based on TTC and PhSI.
