The purpose of this study was to investigate smart features required for the next
generation of personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters in Australia,
Korea, Japan, and the USA. Questionnaire responses were obtained from 167
Australian, 351 Japanese, 413 Korean, and 763 U.S. firefighters (1,611 males and
61 females). Preferences concerning smart features varied among countries, with
27% of Korean and 30% of U.S. firefighters identifying 'a location monitoring
system' as the most important element. On the other hand, 43% of Japanese
firefighters preferred 'an automatic body cooling system' while 21% of the
Australian firefighters selected equally 'an automatic body cooling system' and
'a wireless communication system'. When asked to rank these elements in
descending priority, responses across these countries were very similar with the
following items ranked highest: 'a location monitoring system', 'an automatic
body cooling system', 'a wireless communication system', and 'a vision support
system'. The least preferred elements were 'an automatic body warming system' and
'a voice recording system'. No preferential relationship was apparent for age,
work experience, gender or anthropometric characteristics. These results have
implications for the development of the next generation of PPE along with the
international standardisation of the smart PPE.
