Gloves
Used to protect hands from chemicals, biohazards, and contamination. Three common types include latex, nitrile, and butyl rubber, each offering different levels of chemical resistance.
Safety Goggles
Designed to shield the eyes from chemical splashes, flying debris, and other hazardous materials. It is important for them to fit snugly and have indirect ventilation to prevent fogging.
Hearing Protection
Includes devices such as earplugs and earmuffs, used to protect ears from excessive noise levels, which can lead to hearing loss or tinnitus. The level of protection is measured in Noise Reduction Rating (NRR).
Tyvek Suits
Full-body garments made from high-density polyethylene fibers that offer protection against chemicals, particulates, and biological hazards. They are disposable and provide a balance between durability and comfort.
Respirators
Worn to protect against inhalation of harmful gases, vapors, and particles. Depending on the type, can range from disposable masks to full-face respirators with cartridge filters.
