How To Enhance Your Safety With DuPont™ Tychem® & Tyvek® Coveralls
Resource Description
Our world is constantly improving: nowadays people face global innovations and discoveries almost daily! But have you ever thought about the price some of them pay for this? Tackling hazardous jobs and challenging tasks in different industries, workers risk facing some unwanted consequences concerning their health. That’s when personal protective equipment (PPE) is a must.
The DuPont™ company has been providing and improving PPE solutions for centuries. The company’s specialists carry out permanent collaboration with workers from a wide range of industries as well as with the government in order to ensure innovative and efficient coveralls and suits for a variety of jobs with different levels of protection required.
Levels Of Protection By EPA (Hazmat Protection Levels)
People who work in specific environments and conditions or/and with hazardous materials are subject to adverse health impacts. This may result in mild problems with health and severe diseases with lethal outcome. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the Levels of Protection (LOP) specifying certain jobs and suitable or recommended means of personal protection.
So, as you see the types of protection are divided into four groups that deal with the respiratory system, eyes & face, skin, and ears (protection against noise). All measures concerning the operation in dangerous or hazardous conditions require proper management. One of the most important parts of efficient PPE management is proper training (learn more at OSHA Training Info).
