Importance and key points of putting on and taking off protective clothing

In order to encourage employees to follow standard procedures for wearing and removing protective clothing, and to emphasize the importance of wearing protective clothing correctly, work safety managers should list the health risks that may be caused by incorrect sequence of wearing and removing protective clothing, and publicize the hazards in the protective clothing wearing and removing area.

In addition to addressing the above issues, establishing procedures to assist in wearing and removing, placing risk warnings in the wearing and operating areas, the need for personnel to develop formal wearing and removing protective clothing procedures, and conducting regular training and review. A formal hazmat procedure can be very useful for new employees and can help each employee remember the correct steps to put on and take off the hazmat.

In addition, training courses, both by manufacturers and by safety managers themselves, are also important to help employees remember the steps they need to follow to put on and take off protective clothing.

Finally, regular, repeated reviews of hazmat procedures not only help safety managers identify areas for improvement, but also inform employees whether they feel they are being adequately protected, and employees can raise any concerns they may have.

Of course, for the process of wearing and removing protective clothing, the most important concern is the protection of employees. After all, only those working in hazardous chemical/biological environments wearing protective gear are in a better position to give practical advice and suggestions.

The essentials of putting on and taking off protective clothing

As mentioned above, here are five things that safety managers can consider to improve the dismounting process:

1. Read the instructions carefully to determine what the operator should and should not do when it comes to wearing and handling ppe.

2. Take off your shoes and sit down with your legs in your work clothes to prevent unnecessary pressure on leg joints.

3. Ensure that the assistance personnel are also wearing appropriate protective clothing.

4. In order to avoid cross-contamination when removing protective clothing, for example, take it off slowly by taking it off while turning it over.

5. use appropriate bags to store PPE products, so that they can be discarded in accordance with local laws and regulations.

In contaminated areas, putting on and removing protective clothing can be a complex process, and operators may forget to follow established procedures. However, with appropriate training, documentation, policies, and periodic reviews, safety managers can develop more effective (and robust) disengagement procedures and ensure that operators are better protected.
