Personal Protective Equipment
1/14/2021 (Permalink)
We aim to provide our professional team members the necessary tools to succeed at every job they complete. As restorers and as professionals, our team members need to be prepared for potentially hazardous conditions. Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, is then implemented as a way to protect our team and the customer. Before using Personal Protective Equipment, the technician will closely evaluate the potential risk and determine the type of equipment is necessary for the job. This can also be referenced from OSHA and the IICRC. To help protect technicians from many hazards associated with contaminated water intrusions, team members need to have protective gear accessible. These items protect for all potential exposures to the body and include:
- Chemical-resistant gloves
- Splash goggles
- Appropriate Respirator
- Hard hat
- Rubber boots with hardened shank
- Protective clothing/Tyvek suits
