A STUDY ON PERCEPTION OF INDIAN MARINERS WORKING IN OIL TANKER SHIPS TOWARDS THE WORKWEAR

In this proposed research study, an attempt has been made to enhance the functional aspects of Workwear of the Indian Marine Engineers working in oil tanker ships and who are professionals responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of all major mechanical and engineered equipments onboard a ship. People involved in various defence organisations expect safety clothing along with care and comfort properties to protect themselves from various employment hazards. Technical Textiles are manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional properties and their contribution in the defence textiles is becoming the need of the hour. This study aimed at conducting a survey through questionnaire method among the Indian Marine Engineers working in oil tanker ships to receive personalized feedback of their Workwear which are known as Boilersuits/Overalls.
