Abstract
Human skin surface resistivity may innuence the decay processes of electrostatic charges in computer and control rooms and significantly contribute to electric shock hazards conditions. High temperature and humidity of tropical environment can significantly affect working conditions of operating personnel, resulting also in the change of electric resistance of the skin. Fast industrialization and introduction of Inodern electronics in the coast area of East Africa is connected with the increase of electromagnetic interferences and hanrds arising from electrical and electronic laboratories and control instrumentation of industrial plants. To meet the requirements for protection of equipment and personnel, knowledge of human skin electrical resistivity is needed. An original method of surface resistivity measurement has been worked out, several experiments on laboratory personnel performed and practical suggestion proposed.
