Protects from chemicals
June 1st 2008 Rohm and Haas, developer
and manufacturer of additives
for plastics, paints and
coatings, has appointed
DuPont Personal Protection
to provide personal
protection expertise for its 70
hectare, 'Seveso II, high
threshold' classified industrial
site in Alsace, France.
DuPont was asked to
optimise safety and
numerous criteria were taken
into account: making
coveralls available;
participating in technical
meetings and safety reviews;
carrying out risk analyses and
on-the-spot studies of work
stations; making available
studies concerning resistance
to permeation by liquid; and
providing advice on suitable
equipment and clothing,
training and informing safety
managers and users.
For coveralls, which are
disposed of after use, Rohm
and Haas chose the TYCHEM
range, which offer protection
against liquid splashes, and
particularly TYCHEM F
coveralls, which have high
mechanical strength. The
coveralls are available in
three sizes: L, XL and XXL
and their use is coded
according to a chart where
each level of hazard is rated
from 0 to 4. More articles from Dupont Personal Protection: |
