Abstract
The aim of the study intends to investigate wearing practice of personal protective equipment for firefighter in gyeongnam province and to provide the base data for the safety and health of firefighter. The results of the study are as follows. The overall reliability of fire personal protection equipment has been investigated by 3.19 and an overall improvement in the personal protective equipment is needed. Firefighter showed such a low satisfaction leather fire boots(2.68), glove(2.67) and rubber fire boots(2.59) in personal protective equipment and rubber fire boots(2.75), glove(2.77) and leather fire boots(2.97) has been investigated by the state of the poor. For personal protective equipment, firefighters have been experiencing many difficulties on the fit and weight. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to be designed ergonomically and to develop high-performance, lightweight materials.
