3D facial anthropometry of Chilean workers and migrants

Cross-country comparisons and insights for PPE design

This study aimed to collect and analyze three-dimensional (3D) anthropometric data of Chilean workers to support the design of personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to their physical characteristics. A total of 2016 participants, including Chileans and migrant workers, wer ...

Secular trends in facial anthropometry among Chilean workers

Implications for ergonomic respirator design and fit panel adaptation

The ergonomic fit of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is critical for ensuring both protection and long-term usability in occupational settings. However, most respirators are designed based on outdated or foreign anthropometric data that may not represent local populations. ...

Three-dimensional head and face dimensions of Chilean versus US CAESAR 3D data

Differences and implications for personal protective equipment design

Background:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial for minimizing workplace hazards, and its effectiveness relies on adapting to diverse anthropometric features.

Objective:
To establish the first 3D anthropometry database of Chilean workers. Also, this st ...
BACKGROUND: An appropriate match between a product and its end-users requires anthropometric data, which show variations among different countries. Proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) fit is key for safety and comfort. Chile had no head and facial anthropometric data avail ...
The facial fit of respirators is crucial for determining how effectively respirators may protect users from exposure to airborne contaminants, when their use is required in the workplace. In the Chilean market, all the respirators available have been designed and manufactured usi ...
