Protected at work
Workers who are exposed to hazardous chemicals or biological substances on an almost daily basis during the course of their work require first-class protection that is specially designed to cope with the conditions and potentially hazardous substances the wearer may be exposed to. The type of hazardous substance, as well as the degree and duration of exposure, are the key factors that determine which protective clothing is required. However, the proper use of the different types of disposable coveralls and the technology behind them – particularly the methods used to put on and remove the garments – is also of critical importance. Read on to find out all you need to know about disposable coveralls.
