| Abstract |
A review of work in compressed air and related matters (fire rescue, collapses of excavations, intrusion of water or gases) is followed by an evaluation of workload under hyperbaric conditions on 3 different worksites and of the cardiac and respiratory performance of workers during sub-maximal effort in an experimental caisson. These physiological parameters show the importance of the technical preventive measures described in the 1st part of the publication. Decompression tables are appended. |
