ECN Forum Forums Safety Discussion and News Occupational Safety Discussion Did I go overboard?

Trumpy, Yes to your questions. We also keep a fire extinguisher with us.

It is not an enjoyable piece of gear to wear. I put the complete suit in its bag on a scale "22lbs". I would much rather wear this than experience the results of not having PPE. This suit is 100 CAL/CM2.

I agree that this is going to be contentious, but if I can do my small part, I will.
I asked them to have gloves, a face sheild/helmet and long sleeve shirts that are not polyester. I provided the contractor with some info as to where to purchase this equipment.
The lack of PPE is so bad here, that there are no supply houses selling this stuff.
