Comfortable coveralls protect against paint
September 1st 2008 Coveralls from 3M are
helping protect employees
of the Hoover Candy Group
who work within environments that
demand PPE, for example in paint
spraying plants.
In the past, workers wore boiler
suits. However, these were heavy
and employees at the Hoover
Candy plants often have to operate
in hot environments. The heavy
fabric caused sweating, making the
suits uncomfortable if worn for long
periods.
Commenting on the 3M
coveralls, Chris Roberts, buyer for
Hoover Candy, comments
"Although they are not the
cheapest option, we found that
they are by far the strongest,
lasting longer than the other
protective suits we trialled."
Features include elasticated
hood, waist and ankles, two-way
zip with storm flap for convenience
and protection from contaminants,
and knitted or elasticated cuffs for
increased wearer comfort.
Roberts continues "Our
employees found that coveralls
from 3M were the most
comfortable as they are made from
breathable fabric, meaning that
wearers don't sweat so much."
There are four coveralls in the
collection, carefully designed to
suit a variety of applications.
