According to occupational safety and health regulations in most of countries, people working in certain environments are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect workers from exposing to operational hazards. Among them, the high temperature operation is regarded as a special hazard to safety and health operations. Not only should the thermal load of workers need to pay special attention, but also the external thermal environment has to pay extra care. The purpose of this project was to evaluate heat transfer for thermal protective textiles in understanding the thermal properties of materials. Different kinds of fabric combinations suitable for firefighter's garments were selected to measure their time elapsed between heat flow and heat radiation. This property is very important for those workers who are exposed to heat convection and heat radiation causing human skin damage during high temperature operation. In addition, the possibility of fabric blocking thermal penetration was also investigated in this study.
