Conceptual design approach and ergonomics analysis of fire resistant purpose shield

Shield was used as protection from danger centuries ago. Until this moment, there was still no shield available for firefighting purpose in safe and rescue operation. This factor has put a limit to firefighters, causing death to many victims who were in critical and dangerous situation. In this pr...
