Vpliv uporabe gozdarske osebne varovalne opreme na psihofizične obremenitve

Abstract

Use of proper personal protective equipment, can reduce workload of forestry workers, depends on working conditions. To identify differences between protective clothing systems (summer, transitional, winter), a laboratory study using a cycling-ergometer was conducted. During the study, 9 different measuring devices were used, with which we were able to measure 8 psychophysical indexes. Research showed that there are significant differences between the clothing systems depended on certain indexes. Resistance of cycle ergometer (load) has influence on all psychophysical indexes. Despite the study, made only on one research person, results are showing usefulness for measuring selected psychophysical indexes, and they prove that usage of protective clothing systems has impact on forest worker.
