  • Halk- och fallolyckor, friktionskrav och balansförmåga
  • 2013
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Syftet med detta projekt var att studera samspelet mellan friktion, balansförmåga och halkrisker, samt att ta fram designrekommendationer för friktionskrav och halksäkrare skor och underlag. Sex studier har utförts innefattande friktionsmätningar av skor på olika underlag och temperaturer, studier av stående balans och gång på ramp med justerbar lutning samt fokusgruppintervjuer. Resultaten visar att vid arbete i rumstemperatur på våta klinkergolv bör skosulor av polyuretan användas då de ger högre friktion, utomhus på isigt underlag bör skor med gummi eller latexsulor användas. Oavsett skosulans material och mönster hade alla testade skor utom de dubbade mycket låg friktion på is med vatten. Mjukare material på skosulor bör användas i kyla. Stående tester på plan eller lutande balansplatta med två ytmaterial, takpapp och halt underlag, visade att mer friktion utnyttjades då underlaget lutades. Både underlagets lutning och friktion påverkade balansförmågan. Alla förändringar var tydligare för det hala underlaget, låg friktion är en riskfaktor för att tappa balansen, inte bara vid gång utan också vid stående arbete. Intervjuerstudien visade att upplevda halkrisker var relaterade till hala och lutande underlag och/eller våta eller snöiga skor. Kriterier för en halkfri vintersko var flexibilitet, komfort, multifunktionalitet, ergonomiskt design, individuell anpassning, stabilitet och gångsäkerhet samt anpassning till arbetssituation. Samband mellan friktionskrav och halkrisk på en ramp med olika lutningsvinklar och ytmaterial visade att ju högre lutningsvinkel, dess högre halkrisk och högre friktionskrav vid gång nedåt på både torr och våt stålplåt. Vått underlag och högre grad av lutning bör undvikas. Ett linjärt förhållande har identifierats mellan friktionskrav och lutningsvinkel, där friktionskrav för olika lutningsvinklar kan förutsägas. Ny kunskap om prevention av halk- och fallolyckor, utformning av halksäkrare skor och arbetsplatser har erhållits i projektet.

  • Evaluation of BARRIER® EasyWarm on Healthy Volunteers in Three Different Climates and Verification of the Degree of Correlation Between Tests Performed on Healthy Volunteers and in a standardized bench test
  • 2015
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • INTRODUCTION Anaesthesia induced hypothermia is a common serious but preventable condition associated with increased bleeding and blood transfusion, increased risk for surgical site infections and increased risk for morbid cardiac events. Active warming is effective in preventing hypothermia but there is a need for more easy to use cost-effective products making active warming available to more patients. Establishing how the environment affects skin temperature and total body heat content (TBHC) as well as the correlation between standardized bench tests and healthy volunteer skin temperature is an important aspect in developing new, more effective warming products to prevent or treat hypothermia as this means fewer healthy volunteers are needed as changes to skin temperature could be estimated based on data from bench tests. OBJECTIVES This investigation was undertaken in order to investigate the safety and efficacy of Active warming with BARRIER® EasyWarm when used in three different climate settings and using different test methods; standardized bench test T-1127 measuring temperatures on a wooden board and measuring skin and core temperature on healthy volunteers. An additional objective in this investigation was to determine the degree of correlation between these test methods. OUTCOME A statistically significant increase in TBHC is seen when comparing TBHC over time in all three climates, respectively. With this investigation design we cannot show that there is a difference in TBHC between the different climates though, i.e. the heat generated from the blanket to the subject is not significantly different in the different climates. Based on this investigation the active warming blanket managed to maintain or increase the temperature of the subjects without any adverse thermal effects. Thermal comfort and the mean thermal sensation were maintained between slightly cold and warm throughout the whole exposure length. The active self-warming blanket was well tolerated in healthy male volunteers. None of the six Adverse Events (AE) reported were serious and none of them were related to the investigational device but rather to the immobilisation or the tension of participating in the investigation. All AEs were resolved at end of test. Skin temperature reached maximally 42.2°C, and thus, it never reached the lowest pain threshold of 43°C under any conditions. Increase of core temperature over time in climate 18°C and 24°C was in average 0.1°C to 0.2°C leading to mean final core temperatures of 36.9 (SD 0.2) and 37.1 (SD 0.4) °C for 18°C and 24°C exposures, respectively.

  • Ascending evacuation in long stairways: Physical exertion, walking speed and behaviour
  • 2015
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This is the final report of the project “Ascending evacuation in long stairways: Physical exertion, walking speed and behaviour”. This project investigated the effects of fatigue on walking speeds, physiological performance and behaviours in case of long ascending evacuation. The report includes a literature review on, at the time when the project began, existing material on ascending evacuation on long stairs and escalators. Experimental research was conducted and the results are presented in the report. This includes two set of experiments on human performance during ascending evacuation in long stairs. In addition, an individual and group experiment was performed to investigate the performance of people during an ascending evacuation on a long stopped escalator. One laboratory experiment was conducted on a stair machine and a methodology to link the laboratory and the field experiments has been presented. Results include walking speeds, physiological measures of physical exertion (oxygen consumption, heart rates and electromyography data), perceived exertion and behavioural observations. Results show that physical work capacity affect walking speeds in case of long ascending evacuation and it should be considered while using long ascending evacuation in engineering design. The analysis of both walking and vertical speeds is recommended since it provides additional insights on the impact of stair configuration on vertical displacement. The novel datasets presented in this report are deemed to provide useful information for fire safety engineers both for assisting fire safety design as well as the calibration of evacuation modelling tools. A new prediction model for the representation of physical exertion in relation to physiological data, i.e., maximal oxygen consumption, has been developed and presented. This model allows predicting the time that a person can walk upwards at a certain pace in relation to physical exertion and human physical work capacity.

  • Update of clothing database for existing and new Western clothing ensembles, including effects of posture, body and air movement : Report on manikin measurements for ASHRAE 1760-TRP.
  • 2021
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • ASHRAE Research Project RP-1760 aimed to update thedatabase of western clothing as used in ANSI/ASHRAE Stan-dard 55-2013, Thermal Environmental Conditions for HumanOccupancy (ASHRAE 2013a), ISO Standard 7730-2005,Ergonomics of the Thermal Environment—Analytical Deter-mination and Interpretation of Thermal Comfort Using Calcu-lation of the PMV and PPD Indices and Local ThermalComfort Criteria (ISO 2005), and ISO Standard 9920-2009,Ergonomics of the Thermal Environment—Estimation ofThermal Insulation and Water Vapor Resistance of a ClothingEnsemble (ISO 2009). The previous database, established inthe 1970s and 1980s, relied mostly on single-zone manikinsand did not provide detail on air and body movement effects oninsulation. Insulation values of up to 70 clothing ensembles(31 male, 39 female) were measured in a static standingposture at 0.2, 0.4, and 1 m/s–1 (0.66, 1.31, and 3.28 ft/s–1) airspeed, walking in 0.2 and 1.0 m.s–1 air speed, and in a sittingposture in 0.2 m.s–1 air speed. Measurements were conductedin three laboratories on three manikins with up to 34 individ-ually controlled zones. In addition, vapor resistance was deter-mined in 31 ensembles. This new database provides total,intrinsic and air insulation values, vapor resistance, and cloth-ing area factors as well as correction factors to estimate thewind and movement effect on clothing insulation. Further-more, the model to estimate the clothing area factor from insu-lation values of the ensembles was updated reflecting changesin commonly worn clothing styles.
