Features

• High Performance Fabric: 3M Protective Coverall 4570 uses a 92gsm heavy-duty material blending a soft anti-static treated inner layer of spun bond fibers with multiple outer layers of a high performance polyethylene laminate to offer liquid protection. The fabric is a soft material that helps reduce the amount of distracting noise caused by movement.
• Innovative Seam Technology: To reduce entry points for contaminants, seams are first stitched to offer increased strength. Then the seams are over-taped with a clear heat applied 5-layer chemically protective tape as a barrier to hazardous dusts and high pressure liquid jets. The co-extruded clear tape offers a discreet appearance while offering protection.
• Additional Protective and Convenience Features: This personal protection equipment suit offers numerous features for worker protection and convenience. It comes with a three-panel hood design with a chin flap for a better fit. Two storm-flaps combined with double color-coded zips create a double seal for added protection. Thumb loops deliver a secure fit during overhead work. Large ring-pulls give workers more control when opening and closing zippers while wearing gloves. An elastic waist is adhered with glue to minimize potential entry points of contaminants. Elasticated wrists and ankles enhance natural movement.
• When Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is Necessary, The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Personal Protective Equipment Standard (29 CFR 1910.132) requires employers to conduct a worksite assessment to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). When conducting an assessment to determine whether PPE is needed to help prevent skin contact from liquids, there are many factors to consider. Workers handling, dispensing, using, and transporting liquid materials may need skin coverage. The worksite assessment should evaluate each task taking into account such things as whether skin contact may occur, whether it is continuous or intermittent, the nature of the contact (i.e. immersion, pressurized or non-pressurized spray, splash, surface contact, etc), accidental or intentional contact, and duration of the exposure and whether the contaminant can be absorbed through the skin.
