Feeling the heat?
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is vital to workplace safety, but it can also be uncomfortably hot—and warm weather doesn’t help. If you have employees who must wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts or arc-flash and fire-resistant (AFR) clothing to protect them from other workplace hazards, the potential for heat stress is even greater.
AFR clothing is impermeable and doesn’t allow effective heat exchange.
All clothing, but especially clothing developed to provide protection against hazardous chemical, physical, and biologic agents, will affect the rate and amount of heat exchange between the skin and the ambient air. Clothing insulates the wearer from the
external environment and also traps body heat.
Wearing impermeable, protective clothing greatly limits heat exchange. The impermeability prevents the evaporative heat transfer normally accomplished through sweating.
Have you considered the PhaseCore Cooling Vests as part of your equipment to assist in managing heat and heat stress.
