| Abstract |
Methods used to evaluate the use of personal protective equipment are briefly described. A survey of foundry workers indicated that goggles frequently misted up during hot, heavy work; laboratory experiments demonstrated that the problem could be overcome by increasing the ventilation of the goggles. A study of the comfort of helmets on construction sites led to a number of improvements in the design of the helmet cradle and the sweat band. Studies show that considerations of acceptability are at least as important as those of protection. |
