What is being bought

Published requirement description

To reduce the risk of EHI, maximum PPE wear-time is regulated by work-rest schedules, which are adjusted according to work rate and weather conditions. Currently, the work-rest schedules are thought to be too conservative, preventing specialist users from training effectively.

This 3-year applied physiology-neuroscience project aims to calibrate the current work-rest schedules.
