Applications of Protective Clothing
Protective clothing is any clothing specifically designed, treated or fabricated to protect personnel from hazards that are caused by extreme environmental conditions, or a dangerous work environment. Some protective clothing may be designed to protect the workers from the working environment due to infection or pollution. Protective clothing or any protective equipment is often referred to as personal protective equipment (PPE).
Disposable protective clothing has two general types of application: protecting the worker and protecting the environment around the worker.
It is used to protect the worker when reusable forms of PPE are either inconvenient or where handling, storing, and laundering the PPE after use could put the wearer at further risk of exposure to a harmful substance. In fact, protective clothing that comes into contact with certain substances like asbestos will no longer be considered PPE but will itself become hazardous waste. A disposable option makes it easier to treat it as such.
Disposable clothing is also used in very dirty environments, which make washing reusable PPE time consuming or challenging.
It can also be used to protect the user from low-level radiation.
Conversely, protective clothing can be used to protect the environment in cases where dirt of fibers from the worker's clothes could contaminate a sterile environment .
