This study used mixed method approach to investigate the suitability of uniforms worn by Police

Officers, Fire fighters and Nurses in a typical Ghanaian climate. One hundred and fifty participants

(150) were conveniently sampled from the Greater Accra Region and Central Region of Ghana.

Analysis on fabric suitability was carried out whilst participants were interviewed to ascertain the

comfortability of the uniforms they wear. The study found that most of the fabrics for the uniforms

were dark coloured with an exception of white uniform worn by some nurses. The average

temperature recorded of most of the fabrics were above 37 oC which correspond to the average body

temperature of normal human. However, findings from interview showed low approval ratings for

some of the uniforms sampled. Excess heating of the body affects certain biochemical activities in the

body thus, decreases the quality of sperms and disrupts hormonal activities. It is therefore

recommended that the dress codes of these professions should be revised to suit the weather

conditions.
