Abstract
Firefighting is a dangerous occupation involving numerous intense physical activities in hazardous environmental conditions (Coca, Williams, Roberge, & Powell, 2010). Considering that the personal protective equipment (PPE) is the main protection for firefighters working in hazardous environments without any other type of protection available, wearing properly fitting PPE is critical not only to firefighters’ safety but also to their occupational performance.
