| Abstract |
Following an analysis of occupational head injury accidents, the findings of a study designed to elaborate criteria for performance, testing and user's standards for an efficient means of head protection are reported. After considerations on head injury types, anthropometry of the head and human factors, requirements are established for impact attenuation and penetration resistance. Another part reviews current performance and test standards. Detailed criteria for recommended standards comprise requirements for materials, helmet assembly, impact attenuation, penetration resistance and other characteristics. Test methods and results are discussed, and recommendations are given to the user. |
