Employee protection is of the utmost importance. It helps employers avoid worker injuries and downtime, OSHA violations and the high cost of absenteeism due to on-the-job injuries. With DuPont protective apparel, employers can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their workers are protected from a variety of hazards so that they can perform at their best.

Uses for DuPont PPE

DuPont offers a wide range of protective clothing—from low protection to high—that may be suitable for use in the healthcare sector.

Modesty cover-up

Workers and patients alike may require modesty garments after decontamination showering. Hospitals should be prepared for decontamination activities in the event that a hazmat incident occurs.

Facilities maintenance

Many workers require protection against particulates and light liquid splash hazards such as bleach while conducting dirty jobs and maintenance activities.

Industrial cleaning

Workers may need protection from liquid chemicals while cleaning and/or pressure washing. Protective apparel must hold out water-based chemicals, even under pressure.

Pharmacy compounding

Many compounding pharmacies comply with USP 797, which includes protective garment implications. In addition, pharmaceutical compounding may entail handling hazardous active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including the risk of dermal exposure.

Biological hazard handling

Hospital workers and emergency responders may face biological hazards and bloodborne pathogens. Proper PPE may help reduce the likelihood of contamination of workers’ skin and clothing by potentially infectious agents.
