소재개선에 따른 건설현장 작업복 착의기능성 평가

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the functionality with material-improved working uniform(protocol,P) and current working uniform(control, C). Movement functionality evaluation of material-improved working uniformuniform(P, C) in relation to a physiological functionality measurement. The results have been shown as follows: It wasfound that the workers feel uncomfortable with the parts of the wrist, the back width, the shoulder seam and the sidein the curent working uniform when they move their arms up and down, but the inconvenience has been reduced in thematerial-improved working uniform. And It was found that the workers feel uncomfortable with the parts of the backwidth, the wrist and the side seam of the jacket, and the waist, the hips and the thigh of the trousers in the curent work-ing uniform when they move their waist, but the inconvenience has been reduced in the material-improved working uni-form. In the curent working uniform, it was also found that they feel uncomfortable with the parts of the horse ridingposition in which they stand straight in their slightly bended knees, with the parts of the hips, the side seam, the thighand the knees when they crouch down, and with the parts of the hips and the thigh when they put one of their legs ontoa higher place. However, the inconvenience was reduced in the material-improved working uniform. Oxygen uptake,which was measured to assess physiological dressing functionality, was found to be higher when people work in an uncom-fortable uniform than when they work in a uniform of better functionality by an increase in metabolic rate, which can bea cause of workers' inefficiency of fatigue.
