Abstract

The use of safety equipment products for nose, mouth and eye protection are often neglected during pesticide activities. The so-called ‘pesticide exposure’ can cause damage and harm to the human body. Among the contributing factors are the lack of aesthetic appearance and the feeling of discomfort when using the existing safety equipment products. A research was carried out using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the users’ opinion on the look and function of the existing safety equipment products and problems which occur during pesticides activities. Based on the research findings and idea development, the designer has produced a new safety mask’s design that combined aesthetical value, safety and comfort. Besides protecting its wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and hazardous toxic, its design can fit various faces and uses a SCBA System for ease of breathing
