Abstract
Extremely hard environmental conditions during firefighting operations cause that scientific-research works are still performed aimed at development of new kind of smart protective clothing, equipped with systems supporting communication and delivering complex data about firefighters’ health status, as well as about conditions in their surroundings. Those systems can support firefighter’s work and contribute to improvement of his safety during operation. However, it is crucial that they meet firefighters’ expectations and are adjusted to their working conditions. Therefore, this publication presents the results of a survey research carried out among firefighters focused on defining their needs in relation to smart protective clothing with the hazards warning system.
