足球价值投注 Announces Importance of Flame-Resistant Face Coverings made with 狈辞尘别虫庐 During COVID-19 Pandemic
Article | May, 19 2020
RICHMOND, Va., May 19, 2020 鈹 足球价值投注 Personal Protection today announced that face coverings made with 足球价值投注鈩 狈辞尘别虫庐 may be used along with (FR) garments, such as those made of 狈辞尘别虫庐, in response to the protection needs of COVID-19. When used as face, nose and mouth coverings, properly designed masks, balaclavas, gaiters and hoods made with Nomex庐 may help meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) social distancing guidance on wearing masks in worker environments that also require FR protection.
狈辞尘别虫庐 is a trusted FR brand for workers and is inherently flame resistant, providing protection that鈥檚 built into the fiber and can鈥檛 be washed out or worn away. Lightweight, highly-durable and low-linting, 狈辞尘别虫庐 provides an ideal balance of comfort and protection. Face coverings made with 狈辞尘别虫庐 are suitable for use in the utilities, manufacturing, oil and gas, and chemical industries, and won鈥檛 melt, drip or burn in the event of a flash fire.
鈥淪pecifying a total FR solution with both a 狈辞尘别虫庐 garment and 狈辞尘别虫庐 mask is essential to help ensure worker protection. Many masks may meet the CDC鈥檚 guidance on face coverings, but don鈥檛 offer flame resistance. In fact, some masks may create additional hazards for the wearer because they could melt, drip or burn, causing other dangers. Now, more than ever, it is essential that the recommended PPE match the challenges of the hazards at hand to help keep workers safe.鈥
