Chemical risks are a constant concern in the workplace, especially for health and safety managers, laboratory researchers, and industrial workers. Proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial for protecting respiratory systems, eyes, hands, and body from harmful exposure.
Your Guide to Safe Work Environments
A recent document from INAIL highlights the importance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent accidents and illnesses in research laboratories and other high-risk environments.
- Respiratory Protection Respiratory PPE, such as dust-filtering masks (FFP1, FFP2, FFP3) and gas respirators with activated carbon filters, are essential to protect workers from harmful dust, fumes, and chemicals.
- Eye Protection Eyes are particularly vulnerable to splashes, droplets, and gases. The use of goggle masks, visors, and anti-acid goggles is crucial to ensure effective protection without compromising visibility.
- Hand and Body Protection Hands, often exposed to direct contact with chemical agents, require specific gloves made of materials like nitrile, neoprene, and PVC. Body protection, through aprons, lab coats, or suits, is also crucial to prevent harm.
