Suiting up for safety in hazardous workplaces
Article Abstract:
Chemical processing employees who are assigned to work in hazardous workplaces are faced with three common hazards that include potential exposure to heat and flame, airborne particles and corrosive or toxic chemicals. To provide such employees with the most effective personal protective equipment (PPE), their employers are advised to conduct a hazard assessment to identify the hazards associated with each type of work environment. They should also review the regulations and industry standards for PPE that apply for the particular hazards found at the site. Furthermore, they are advised to learn the selection criteria for PPE that include material compatibility, cost and performance.
