Document Summary
Within human ecology there is 2 testing services conducting re testing and research: textile analysis service- tas. Consumer textile products ccpsa tests: protective clothing and equipment research facility pcerf established in 2002. Human ecology sta and students have conducted c nothing research since the early 80"s. Chemical protective clothing for agricultural and military personnel. Thermal protective clothing for workers in the oil and gas sector, Mechanical engineering sta and students have been important partners since the mid 80"s. Why research focus at the u of a. Industrial res and explosions are common hazards at alberta work places. Result from accidental release and ignition of ammable fuels or chemicals. Anyplace ammable materials are present, handled, process or stored. Used for testing and evaluating garments and garment systems constructed from ame resistant fabrics and intended for protective work clothing. Bench-scale tests are used to screen materials to ensure suitability. Allows evaluation of complete garments or ensembles in as worn con gurations.
