Status Report on Research Programs for Firefighters Protective Clothing
The inadequate design of present-day protective clothing and equipment used by firefighters can be attributed to a lack of quantitative data on what that equipment is expected to do and under what conditions it must perform. Research on firefighters' turnout gear at the National Bureau of Standards has focussed on developing the needed quantitative data. Pogress in defining the hazards faced by firefighters, measuring the performance of present-day coats, quantifying the thermal conditions to which firefighters are exposed, predicting the performance of protective equipment under those conditions, and using this information to specify the design of improved turnout gear is described.
