Oil & gas workers often require specialized personal protective flame-resistant (FR) garment ensembles for protection against multiple hazards. These workers face a combination of general safety and chemical hazards that are compounded by dangerous flammable conditions on the jobsite. Despite efforts to engineer out these hazards, some risks may persist — underscoring the importance of multi-hazard personal protective equipment (PPE) as a final safeguard.
Attendees will walk away with (1) an understanding of what secondary flame-resistant protective clothing is, (2) why it is important for the oil & gas industry, and (3) what DuPont Personal Protection solutions can help solve the challenges associated with:
- The uncertainty of what protective apparel to choose
- Dual-hazard protection against flame hazards & hazardous particulates
- Dual-hazard protection against flame hazards & chemical hazards
