Several aspects should be paid attention to when choosing suitable work anti-static clothing
1. Protective effect
Protective function is a basic requirement of protective clothing. The materials selected for the protective clothing must be able to protect against dangerous factors, and the supplier must be able to provide relevant test data. You know, what you need is not just a certificate of conformity, but the real protective effect!
2. Process quality
In addition to the material performance (protective effect) itself, the quality of the workmanship is also important. Related specifications include:
L) Seams. *Appropriate seam treatment depends on the required protection performance. Therefore, the correct choice can only be made after having a good understanding of the different characteristics of seams, needle seams, fusion seams and combined seams that are sealed by rubber strips.
2) Size. The size of the protective suit should be moderate, neither too big nor too small. If you choose "one size fits all" protective clothing, it will inevitably be too large or too small. If the size is too large, you will find it very inconvenient, and it may cause work inconvenience or even danger due to uncomfortable wearing; if the size is too small, you will feel too tight on the sleeves and crotch. This kind of "tight-fitting" protective clothing not only hinders your activities, but is also very easy to tear, which seriously weakens the protective performance of work clothes.
3) Quality control and quality assurance. In order to control and ensure the quality of protective clothing, it is very important to pay attention to the following aspects:
○Can the supplier provide true tracking records, and can they provide practical and convenient technical consulting services?
○Is there any relevant test data from the manufacturer or independent testing organization to verify the quality of the product?
○ Has the process quality been certified by an authoritative certification system? (Such as DuPont's Tyvek®BarrierMan system certification)
3. Comfort
A set of comfortable and fitted protective clothing is very necessary to protect the operator. Inappropriate size may cause the protective clothing to crack, hinder the wearer's movement, feel depressed, etc., which will inevitably affect the work. Soft fibrous materials (such as polypropylene non-woven materials) are generally considered to have good air permeability, but their protective effects are not satisfactory. Relatively speaking, the high-density polyethylene manufactured by DuPont using the flash evaporation method not only has good air permeability, but also has a good protective effect.
The correct choice of protective clothing for professional wear should consider not only the protective performance, but also durability and comfort. It is necessary to find the best balance between protection, durability and comfort.
4. Is it value for money
Of course, when choosing any product, price must be considered, but when health is endangered or life is endangered under extreme conditions, price should no longer be the main factor to consider. Generally speaking, only by investing higher costs in the process of research, development, production and design of protective clothing can it be possible to obtain higher quality accordingly, because after all, safety comes at a price!
help information
The above mentioned are just some basic rules. I need to remind you in particular: Whether you are a user or a purchaser, you should use the consulting service information provided by well-known manufacturers. DuPont's Tyvek®Barrier Man provides you with information about the protective performance of various protective clothing materials and the specific requirements for the design of protective clothing in different hazardous environments. When your employees work in workplaces with hazardous factors, the first question you encounter is: How to provide your employees with "enough protection" to prevent them from harm? Here, I will introduce you to the basic rules of choosing protective clothing, I believe it will be helpful to you.
When choosing protective clothing, first, you should carry out relevant risk analysis, such as:
○What are the risk factors in the work environment of employees? What are the hazards of these risk factors to human health?
○What is the concentration of dangerous goods?
○ In what form does the dangerous goods appear?
○ In what ways may employees come into contact with these dangerous goods?
Secondly, when you choose protective clothing, you also need to find out the specific situation of the scene, such as:
○Does the work require a lot of effort?
○What is the normal temperature in the work area?
○What kind of mechanical force may the protective clothing be subjected to?
○Whether the employee does a lot of exercise such as climbing, stretching, bending over, etc.
Before you choose protective measures for your employees, it is very necessary to conduct the above *basic analysis first. These analyses can be carried out by the company’s own occupational safety and health management department, or outside experts can be invited to complete it.
When choosing protective clothing, you must first decide whether to use disposable protective clothing or reusable protective clothing. The disposable protective clothing produced by DuPont does not need to be cleaned and reused after being worn out in a polluted environment, but is treated as waste; while the reusable protective clothing can be used repeatedly, so it is contaminated Or, it must be cleaned after contamination by potential contaminants. There is no doubt that compared with reusable work clothes, DuPont’s disposable work clothes have many advantages, mainly:
○No need to decontaminate
○Lightweight
○The cost is relatively low
○Remarkable hygiene performance
For the arduous physical work in the contaminated area, it is generally not recommended to reuse the same set of work clothes, because excessive perspiration may cause a large number of germs (**, mold, etc.) to multiply. Although reusable work clothes can be cleaned, first of all, it is difficult to ensure that germs and dirt can be completely removed by cleaning; secondly, the protective function after cleaning cannot guarantee 100% of the original function. Basis for choosing protective clothing
After you have decided to choose disposable protective clothing, facing the disposable protective clothing with different performances on the market, you should also clearly understand the basis for choosing protective clothing
