Investigating the trends and causes of changes in human anthropometric dimensions over the past three decades: a challenge for ergonomic design
Conclusion. Since the process of changes in anthropometric dimensions is not always the same, anthropometric data should be updated regularly, and work environments and equipment should be reviewed or redesigned according to the new anthropometric data.PMID:38528827 | DOI:10.1080/10803548.2024.2318945 (Source: International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics)

Investigating the influencing factors and prediction models of skin burns for firefighters' occupational safety
Int J Occup Saf Ergon. 2024 Mar 22:1-14. doi: 10.1080/10803548.2024.2327869. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRelevant studies in the fields of fire safety, occupational health and firefighter clothing were analyzed in this study to address the high injury rate among firefighters during fire rescue and the complexity of factors affecting skin burns. The findings indicate that the degree of skin burns in firefighters is primarily influenced by the heat source (heat flux, type), firefighter clothing (fabric, pattern) and the under-clothing air gap (thickness, characteristics). Since skin burns cannot be directly measured, inter...
