CASTILLO, JEFFERSON R. and COLOCADO, JOAN KAYE C., Analysis on the Effect of Firefighter's Personal Protective Equipment on Mobility and Performance on Selected Areas in Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Engr. Willie C. Buclatin.
The study aimed to analyze the effect of firefighter's personal protective equipment on mobility and performance on selected areas in Cavite. Specifically, the researcher aimed to determine the demographic profile of the firefighter's in terms of: gender, civil status, age, type of commitment, years in service, and educational attainment; measure the level of satisfaction on the firefighter's personal protective equipment; identify the fire gear injuries and the frequency of occurrences; and if there is a significant relationship between mobility and performance to firefighter's personal protective equipment. Furthermore, the study involved one hundred fifty-two (152) randomly selected firefighters. The study employed the quantitative research design which utilized the descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mode and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The respondent's age is between the age group 21-30. Most of the respondents were male, married, non-volunteer, 1-8 years in service and had finished their bachelor's degree. In terms on the level of satisfaction most of the respondents were satisfied and moderately satisfied on the properties of personal protective equipment such as fire gloves, fire boots, fire helmet, bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus, while most of the respondents were often and sometimes experience fire gear injuries such as bruises, stumbles, blister, muscle pain, slips, body pain, back pain, shoulder pain and numbness.
Significant activities that are related to level of satisfaction in firefighter's personal protective equipment properties were identified. These factors are the mobility and performance in fire gloves grip and fit properties (grabbing things and work during fire operation); fire boots weight and fit properties (the foot to stretch freely, walk freely, walk on hot surfaces, run fast and work/move fully); bunker gear size, weight, fit and flexibility properties (enter in close and small spaces, enter on hot places, move quickly and work fully); and self-contained breathing apparatus weight property (move fast).
