Handbook focuses on ppe selection
August 1st 2007

JOIFF, an organisation for emergency services management, has published a PPE handbook for people who select heat-and-flame protective clothing and equipment, which JOIFF member, DuPont, has printed and is distributing in conjunction with the organisation.

The handbook, called PPE to protect against heat and flame, contains information on all aspects of heat and flame protective clothing, from risk assessment, the EU certification system, heat stress management and safety standards, through to garment design and selection, sizing and care and maintenance.

Alec Feldman, representative of JOIFF, commented at a recent DuPont seminar "This handbook has been drawn up to provide JOIFF members with information and background detail to enable them to make informed decisions as to the most suitable type of PPE to provide for their personnel."
