Protects from paints and dusts
October 1st 2008

Coveralls from 3M are helping protect employees of Hoover Candy Group who work within environments that demand PPE, for example in paint spraying plants.

In the past, workers wore boiler suits. However, these were heavy and employees at often have to operate in hot environments. The heavy fabric caused sweating, making the suits uncomfortable if worn for long periods.

Commenting on the 3M coveralls, Chris Roberts, buyer for Hoover Candy, said: "Although they are not the cheapest option, we found that they are by far the strongest, lasting longer than the other protective suits we trialled." Features include elasticated hood, waist and ankles, two-way zip with storm flap for convenience and protection from contaminants, and knitted or elasticated cuffs for increased wearer comfort.
