Learn all about our free resources, keys to a great social media campaign, and how you can plan for transitioning back to in person/hybrid learning.

Traditional and Particulate-Blocking Firefighter Hoods: Pros, Cons, and Trade-Offs

Bryan Ormond, PhD, North Carolina State University
This webinar will present the findings from a DHS FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant funded research study, led by North Carolina State University’s Textile Protection and Comfort Center (TPACC), on developing a system-level methodology for evaluating protective hood materials and designs for trade-offs between protection (particulate and flashfire), comfort, durability, and situational awareness. Firefighter exposure to chemicals through head, face, and neck demonstrates vulnerable body regions for exposure.
