| Resumen |
Trials undertaken with a totally enclosed motor-propelled survival craft (TEMPSC) indicated that the internal environment was related to occupancy level, with full occupancy causing greatest stress. Under summer conditions, high internal temperatures caused considerable thermal stress, particularly in those wearing survival suits. The onset of motion sickness was recorded within the first half-hour of the sea trial, with 49% of occupants feeling unwell. Major recommendations are that the occupancy level of the TEMPSC should be reduced, fluids should be supplied to help prevent dehydration and the design of the TEMPSC should be reconsidered with particular regard to ventilation. |
