To examine the effects of firefighters' self-contained breathing apparatus' (SCBA) weight and its harness design on physiological subjective responses, eight male students performed treadmill exercise under four conditions: 8 kg firefighter protective clothing (PC) (Control), PC + an 11 SCBA with old (Test A), a 6.4 B) new C), at ambient temperatures (T a) 22°C 32°C. Besides highlighting fact that heavy had significant effect oxygen consumption metabolic rate, this experiment also found in T...

This study investigated the effects of firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE) on determination maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) while using two different treadmill protocols: a progressive incline protocol (PIP) and speed (PSP), with three clothing conditions (Light-light clothing; Boots-PPE rubber boots; Shoes-PPE running shoes). Bruce Light was performed for reference test. Results showed there no difference in VO(2max) between Light, PIP PSP Light. However, reduced Boots Shoes...

Concentration is essential in order to help perceive and understand the object that being focused. If students can concentrate, everything be recorded properly brain's memory. student concentration experiences obstacles learning activities, there will achieve goals. This study aims analyze influence relationship between levels when listening different audio stimuli. The methods used quantitatively see are reaction time memory recall for 30 students. data obtained processed using statistical...

Knowledge regarding ergonomic positions and chairs specifically designed to support comfort when working is very much needed by weavers working. This will prevent the occurrence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), explicitly conditions that can affect muscles, bones joints. The method used in this activity qualitative observational. was carried out at Niawarat Raitawun Weaver Group on Leti Island, Southwest Maluku District. community service began providing education MSDs environmental...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify work postures and determine the risk health problems due body traditional salt farmers. sample used in 37 farmers from Pundata Baji, Pangkep Regency - Indonesia. analysis techniques were Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Entire Body (REBA) methods. results show that based on RULA score, there two require investigation change as soon possible (urgently) (Level 4). As for REBA one posture is included very high-risk category, which needs...

Abstract The Tower Area at PT Eastern Pearl Flour Mills, which is located on the jetty, causes workers who are directly exposed to reflection of sunlight. A hot work climate increases physical fatigue can be measured by strength handle and stimulation reaction time. This research was conducted identify working conditions in area PT. EPFM, influence a with workers. linear regression method used determine relationship between fatigue. including ISBB humidity respectively become independent...

Abstract Worker comfort is one important factor in the production operation. The attention to workplace will be able reduce occurrence of complaints. Facilities and conditions that are not ergonomic increase worker’s complaints, such as musculoskeletal disorders often experienced. Many factors affect work-related disorders. In this research, social demographic retrieved influence its effect on experienced by front shovel operators at a mining company South Sulawesi was analyzed. This...

This study analyzed two firefighter groups, the heavy bodyweight (HBW) and light body weight (LBW) groups. The main aim was to evaluate physiological responses of these groups during personal protective equipment standard test. Furthermore, differences in between were hypothesized. All performed a 5.5 km∙hr -1 treadmill exercise under 0.967 Kg sports attire as control condition (CON) 18.974 PPE (PPE), at air temperatures (Ta) 32℃ 60% relative humidity (RH), respectively. result showed that...
