Training Objectives

Determine when standard PPE is insufficient necessitating full-body shielding
Apply protocols for donning, doffing, and inspecting protective suits

Course Overview

Sometimes a vest isn't enough. When the environment is the enemy, you need a full shield.

Standard safety gear protects the parts; Protective Clothing protects the whole. In environments involving radiation, scalding liquids, or biohazards, exposing any skin can be catastrophic. This training short explains when and why you need to suit up completely.

We focus on the science of materials. Do you know why fire-retardant wool is the choice for heat, while rubber or synthetics are required for chemical spills? Using the wrong fabric can turn a protective suit into a trap. We also cover the critical protocols for donning and doffing. Watch this video to learn how to create a complete barrier between you and the most dangerous elements in the workplace.

What are three types of hazards that require whole-body protection?


Whole-body protection is required against hazards such as heat and radiation, hot metals, scalding liquids, body fluids, or hazardous materials/waste.


Name four materials commonly used to construct whole-body PPE.


Materials include fire-retardant wool, fire-retardant cotton, rubber, leather, synthetics, and plastic.


Why is whole-body PPE necessary in certain workplaces?


It is necessary because these workers must shield most or all of their bodies against hazards that standard PPE cannot fully contain, such as radiation or hazardous waste.


What is the main benefit of using fire-retardant materials in whole-body PPE?


Fire-retardant materials like wool and cotton provide necessary protection against heat and flames.


How does whole-body protection contribute to worker safety against chemical threats?


Materials like rubber and plastic create a complete barrier to prevent skin absorption or contact with hazardous liquids and chemical waste.
