Heat / Skin Protection

Skin is the largest organ of the body and is most exposed to ecological hazards, whether at work or home. The skin can be protected from various environmental insults by wearing an appropriate PPE.

Types of skin protection

There are three main types of whole-body skin protection

• Separates – these only cover part of the body (e.g. jackets or trousers).
• Aprons – these only cover part of the body.
• Overalls, coveralls, body suits, boiler suits and chemical suits – these cover the whole body, and may be reusable or disposable.

For leg protection (as well as trousers), there is also;

• Knee pads.
• Gaiters – these cover the shins.
• Hard fibre or metal guards, which help to protect against some impact hazards.

For skin protection to be effective;

• Protective clothing must be suitable for the hazard (e.g. chemical resistance and protection against physical hazards can vary widely).
• Manufacturer’s instructions must be followed (e.g. do not use chemical resistance for longer than the recommended breakthrough times, and clean as to not damage its effectiveness).
• Worn or contaminated clothing must be stored separately from clean clothing.
• Check for surface damage, which could reduce its effectiveness.
• Do not wear loose clothing near moving machinery, if there is a chance that it could get caught.
