PPE Categories Level A Fully encapsulated suit, with over-gloves and overboots integrated into the suit. Respiratory protection is a self-contained breathing apparatus. Level A protection is required for entry into an unknown hazardous environment. Level B A hooded suit, double gloves, overboots, and a self-contained breathing apparatus, and may be used for decontamination procedures for an unknown substance and for entry into hot zones where the agent is not caustic. Level C Similar to Level B, but uses an airpurifying respirator instead of a self-contained breathing apparatus. Level C PPE can be used only after the hazardous substance has been identified, and upon verification of adequate oxygen in the environment.
Suit Selection Why Single-Use? Zero maintenance No re-testing Simplified decontamination and doffing procedures Wearer peace of mind (new suit every time) Lighter weight materials reduce physical burden and increase comfort Ideal when you cannot guarantee decontamination No cross contamination risk (passing contamination to next wearer) Long shelf life Legislative responsibility of employers for employees Low cost of ownership due to competitive buying price and lack of yearly maintenance

PermaSURE Toxicity Modelling App
PermaSURE Toxicity Modeller for Chemprotex Fabrics PermaSURE is a new software tool designed to help answer one simple question: - How long can I work safely in this environment? App calculates your safe working time based on the chemical you are working with, the extent of your exposure, the suit you are using and the suit temperature. Results calculated on working temperature of the suit, not the standardised temperature of the test lab PermaSURE takes account of the toxicity of the substance your suit is exposed to when calculating a safe working time
