Abstract: GAYAMO, ARLEEN JOY V. and PEPITO, ROSEANNE R. Design and Improvement of Respirator for Painters in the Automotive Shop. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University-Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Engr. Gerry M. Castillo. The study was primarily conducted to design and improve the respirator used by painters in the automotive shop through the application of ergonomics and anthropometry. Specifically, it aimed to l) determine the attributes of the existing respirators; 2) identify the anthropometric discomforts that were experienced by the automotive painters; and 3) compare the dimensions of the existing respirators with the proposed respirator designs to show the deficiencies in the dimensions of the existing design. The mismatch between the dimensions of the respirator and automotive painters causes discomforts. The study required data on characteristics and dimensions of existing respirators, anthropometric measurements, and discomforts experienced by automotive painters. Data were collected through surveys and interviews in automotive shops in selected areas of Cavite. Dimensions of the existing respirators were obtained by measuring their length, width, and depth. The results of the study showed that top factors of dissatisfaction include improper filtration of odor and air contaminants, strap adjustment, and difficulty in breathing. Discomfort and poor fitting was cited as common reasons for not wearing respirators at work. A prototype respirator was developed considering relevant facial anthropometry gathered from automotive painters. The proposed respirator used a headband for straps, silicone and fiberglass as materials, and a double cartridge for odor filtration. The acceptability of the prototype was evaluated using five indicators. Results showed that users were significantly satisfied with all the features. The developed contour based on the facial anthropometry of users locks the spaces along the side of the face, sealing out harmful odor from the environment.
