This study examined the work environment and wearing conditions of industrial protective clothing in shipbuilding workshops. It also investigated the relationship between the wearing sensation of industrial protective clothing and overall comfort, according to work process. In addition, the work posture according to work process was evaluated based on ergonomic factors. The wearing rate of industrial protective clothing was 73.3%, 66.7%, and 60.1% for workers engaged in welding, grinding, and painting, respectively. The harmful work environment factors, listed from most harmful to least harmful, were found to be high temperature pyrogens, noxious fumes, organic solvents, UV rays, and heavy dust. The aspect of wearing performance of industrial protective clothing that was most related to user dissatisfaction was poor sweat absorbency. In terms of the correlation between the overall comfort and the wearing sensation of industrial protective clothing, the satisfaction was low shown in orders of physiological comfort, sensual comfort, and movement comfort.

Physiological responses and subjective sensations were evaluated for wearing protective welding clothing in consideration of the work environment for the shipbuilding industry. Experimental clothing was made of oxidant carbon nonwoven fabric (SW2) and oxidant carbon/p-aramid blended fabric (SW4). The values of all items in physiological responses were higher upon wearing oxidant carbon experimental clothing versus wearing oxidant carbon/p-aramid experimental clothing (p<.001). The results of the wearing evaluation in the welding work on-site showed that existing leather protective clothing had a very low satisfaction of permeability, weight sensation and wearing sensation. For the wearing sensation of experimental clothing with SW2, permeability and durability were poor and the pressure and weight sensation satisfaction was very high. In case of SW4, the satisfaction was very high in functional movement, pressure, weight sensation and management aspects; subsequently, the overall wearing satisfaction was very good.

The demand for coverall-type protective clothing are increasing in many industrial fields; however, it is impossible to evaluate the wearers' apparel fit because there is no commercialized pattern in the market. This study produces a manual for the process of acquiring patterns by separating PPE products into pieces to provide information on acquiring patterns. The analysis was on coverall-type non woven protective clothing in the domestic market, and 4 panels examined the validity, reliability, and efficiency of various possible methods on each step of process. Five steps were conducted to acquire patterns removing wrinkles, marking seams lines, separating seams, and pattern completing. The process of converting these into pattern files was designed through three procedures of digitizing, editing, and exporting and detailed stages. Fitting tests were undertaken, real patterns by actual modeling and pattern files by virtual modeling; all showed similar forms with outfits wearing ready-made protective coveralls. This study sought the most efficient and objective method of virtual modeling and proposed it as a manual. It is expected for the pattern reverse-designing manual through products analysis presented in this study that would be a helpful addition of information to the pattern tracing of pattern-less clothing products.

Disposable protective coveralls that cover the entire face and body are essential for operations in contaminative or dangerous environments. This research studied disposable protective coveralls on Korean market in order to improve the products that agricultural workers wear. We investigated the size specifications of 22 disposable protective coverall products sold in Korean markets and analyzed how well the size specifications cover Koreans' sizes by comparing and analyzing the size specifications with Korean body measurements and Korean standards for protective clothing. We analyzed the consistency, regularity, and fitness to body measurements of Koreans for each size by measuring the sizes of 15 different parts for 22 products each. Current disposable protective coverall products for the Korean market are unsuitable for Korean body measurements, especially women's. It was expected that wearers would be unable to choose products that fit their bodies well just by the offered size specifications due to a lack of regularity between the measurements for each size. In this result, it was assumed that the development of KS standards and the coverall pattern that reflect the body measurements of Koreans are needed.

소방보호복의 열보호특성을 정확히 파악하는 것은 보호복 개발 뿐만 아니라 화상에 의한 부상 방지 및 생명 보호라는 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만 대부분의 경우 고열유속 조건에서 시험을 수행하여 시편의 파괴가 발생하기 쉽고, 그에 의해 제대로 된 결과를 얻어낼 수 없는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저열유속 조건의 복사열 노출시 열보호성능을 효과적으로 제시할 수 있는 지표 및 측정 방법을 기존 RPP (Radiant Protective Performance) 측정방법을 개선하여 제안하였다. 또한 실험을 통해 여러 가지 보호성능지표들의 관계를 파악하였다.

건강과 식생활에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있는 가운데, 작물보호제의 농작물 잔류가 건강에 미치는 영향을 염려하는 목소리가 작지 않다. 작보제는 각종 농작물에 다양한 종류가 사용되어 안정된 식품공급에 커다란 기여를 하고 있다. 그럼에도 작보제의 안전성은 끊임없이 의심받고 있으며 지나치게 잘못 인식돼 있다. 여기서는 기회 있을 때마다 작보제에 대한 올바른 인식을 주장해 온 복전수부(福田秀夫)씨의 여러 가지 의문에 대한 답변을 정리해 본다.

vortex tube의 에너지 분리현상이 Ranque에 의해 처음으로 발견된 이래 vortex tube는 산업현장에서의 그 이용률이 점차 증대되고 있다. 특히, 최근에는 작업자의 쾌적한 작업환경을 조성하여 작업능률을 향상시킬 목적으로 제철소 등의 고온, 고습 작업장이나 분진, 석면, 유해먼지나 가스, 증기 등이 많이 발생하는 작업장에서 냉각복(air cool jacket) 또는 공기공급식 호흡보호구의 공기공급시스템에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 vortex tube를 이용한 냉각복 및 호흡보호구는 작업자의 능률향상뿐만 아니라 직업병의 예방 및 안전측면에서 매우 효율성이 높아 그 적용범위가 점차 확대될 전망이다.

We have test chemical resistance and flame retardant properties of chemical protective clothing Fabrics by the ASTM and ISO standard methods. The flame retardant test results show that polyethylene is poor in flame resistance but fluoroelastomer add to decabrom is excellent in flame resistance. Especially, nowadays heat protective clothing for firefighters, which is aluminized film layers laminated to aramid fabric, show the excellent flame resistance. However, the chemical resistance test results show that aluminium is high corrosive in 4M NaOH solution alone. The problem of corrosion can be overcome by employing multiple barrier film. Also, based on the result of flame retardant test, duel skin of polymer barrier film add to aluminum film and single skin of fluorinated rubber with flame retardant materials seems to be fit for the chemical protective clothing. Also the thermal protection and heat transfer test results show that TPP and HTI is increased assured that the continued study on fire risk assessment & chemical resistance of chemical protective clothing fabrics will contribute to the upgrade the performances of chemical protective clothing fabrics.
