Breathing Air Requirements for Encapsulating
Design Garments
Encapsulating garments are designed to completely cover
the wearer, including all respiratory equipment (except
for external air supply lines, if applicable). Encapsulating
garments require that fresh breathing air be supplied to the
wearer at all times.
CAUTION: YOU MUST USE AN OPEN CIRCUIT SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR AIR-LINE SUPPLIED
RESPIRATOR WITH ALL ENCAPSULATING GARMENTS.
Other Personal Protective Equipment
To help protect you while wearing a Tychem
use of other personal protective equipment (PPE) items
is often required based on the hazard assessment. PPE
selection must be conducted by a trained and experienced
safety professional. Additional protective equipment may be
required to deal with hazards such as, but not limited to, the
following:
•
Flammable or Explosive Environment
•
Extreme Heat (Heat Stress)
•
Extreme Cold (Hypothermia)
•
Physical Hazards (Sharps, Puncture, Rough Surfaces,
Falling Debris)
•
Slipping Hazards
•
Visibility Requirements
•
Fall Protection
•
Contamination Avoidance
Respirators
Tychem
encapsulating suits must be worn with a full
®
face, supplied air respirator. The user must be trained and
physically fit to use a respirator. The performance of your
respirator must be verified with a performance based fit
test. Failure to properly select, test, use and maintain your
respirator can result in serious injury or death. The selection
of the appropriate respirator is the responsibility of the
safety professional or industrial hygienist.
