Bolibrukh B. Development of Scientific Bases of Creation of Highly Effective Personal Protective Equipment of Fire-fighters

The thesis solves actual scientific problem of scientific bases development of creation highly effective personal protective equipment for fire-fighters, by determining the multifactorial dependencies extent of damage anatomical-topographic fire-fighter's body regions, considering the conditions of implementation of fire-rescue operations and hazardous and harmful production factors affection. The system of creating highly effective personal protective equipment for fire-fighters, using methods of determining the degree of risk of fire-fighter's injury is designed. This makes it possible to evaluate the reliability of the protection of personal protective equipment and justify the promising directions for improving their efficiency. Fire-fighter head protection problems have been solved. The list of challenges was formulated and solved, what allowed fire-fighter helmet design and technological development. Technical requirements for fire-fighter protective footwear were developed and justified.
