Protective men's suit

A number of professions are associated with daily risk due to specific working conditions - with chemistry or in difficult conditions. Here it is important to comply with the requirements of individual safety, and professional protective suits help reduce risks and protect people from dangerous factors.

A protective suit may be needed in working with chemicals (disinfection, disinsection, etc.), under conditions of possible radiation, as well as when you need to reduce the open body area, isolate a person from the external environment (fire suits, electricians). Sometimes it is required to “single out” a person, to make it noticeable in different conditions.

To such clothes are high requirements for durability. It is made taking into account scientific developments, supplemented with impregnations, it consists of resistant fibers that do not react with chemical reagents, often they are combined with reinforced filaments.

• Grade 3 protects when working in difficult conditions.

Such protective suits are chosen for employees of the fire service, MOE. Protection against overheating and external heat is provided by the layered suit, special fabrics and surface impregnation. It is necessary to use heat-reflecting matter, in the suit TOK-200 it is used as the outer layer of clothing, in others - inside the layers. However, the fabrics are used lightweight to ensure fast and maneuverable work, as in the BOP-1. Such materials provide protection against acids, alkalis, dust and other hazards.

At the enterprises of the chemical, oil producing and processing industries there are special suits for work in case of an accident, the filling of reagents and hazardous substances. They served as a prototype for the OZK (combined-arms protective kit) - a relatively lightweight suit made of rubberized insulating material, which included gloves, boots, gas mask. If the troops use camouflage-colored suits, choosing the style according to their needs - a jumpsuit or a raincoat, then enterprises often choose universal and light overalls of bright colors (yellow or red).

The SPACEL 3000 overalls are an example of a lightweight chemical resistant to various substances.It is worn over working clothes, but it does not provide long-term protection. But for a long work more suitable METHANOL, KIH. These models are airtight, resistant to substances in the air, as well as liquid, caustic and poisonous vapors. Tight fit provides cuffs with elastic bands, and respiratory protection - gas masks.

Protective suit from low temperatures - the most necessary clothing in a harsh cold climate. The hangar is made of natural and synthetic materials (cotton, thermofiber, polyether and others), the combination of which helps to keep warm. This suit does not trap moisture, is not blown. Dark non-staining color is practical, takes into account the wide specifics of the work, is noticeable on the snow cover. For safety during the warm time of the day reflective stripes are applied on the suit.

Employees of the fleet, fishing vessels, other sailors and fishermen also need overalls that protect them from splashes and high humidity, penetrating wind and cooling. Employees of enterprises with water bodies also need this form. Raincoats help with a short rain, but they have a raincoat design with a hood, and it is not suitable for all works, and will also impede movement in conditions of high dampness when there is no rain. For such cases, suitable universal camouflage suits VZR and KMF, they are made of durable fibers (nylon, polyester, polyester).

Most often they are made of propylene, creating straight silhouettes.

Often it is light overalls with a hood. They are complemented by gloves, shoe covers and respirators.

Protection from electrical discharge give suits made of BANWEAR material (cotton + nylon). Such suits have their seasonality (summer-winter), different processing depending on the class of protection. Such clothes are required for welders, electricians, electricians, test engineers. Suits (pants or semi-overalls and a jacket) reduce the risk of work and can save employees.

Fire retardant impregnation is often used in protective suits. The basis is treated cotton, moleskin, flameshild, and as impregnation - flame retardants. They can be applied to clothing immediately before use.

Features ride a motorcycle for a long time made bikers very vulnerable. If amateurs often neglect to buy a protective suit, then professional racing athletes understand that a good suit can save lives.

Traditional material is called skin, it is not blown, it creates minimal friction with air.

Modern materials - nylon, aramid fibers have the same advantages, and still create a flexible, durable frame that can protect against impact.

Costume design takes into account common types of injuries, provides protection (stiffeners, airbags, etc.).

Such motorcycle overalls help soften shocks and ensure proper heat exchange. Wear them on top of underwear or clothing.

To work in a protective suit was comfortable, you need to follow simple rules. Costumes should be worn over linen, from -10 ° C to 15 ° C - over seasonal uniforms, a padded jacket helps to warm up below -10 ° C. As for helmets and hoods, the recommendation for the winter period - be sure to use a balaclava. Protective boots put on socks or footcloths. It is recommended to keep costumes and wear them in the shade so that they do not overheat. Maximum performance is achieved at an even pace of work.

You need to change into a protective uniform right before work, employees do it on a special team. The mode of operation in a suit takes into account the temperature and other conditions that are specified in the instructions. In cloudy weather, the work time may be longer, and its preliminary training increases.
