Coverall protection
May 1st 2007 DuPont Personal Protection says
its Tyvek Classic Plus coveralls can
be used to help protect poultry
workers who may be exposed to
the Avian Influenza virus.
During routine inspection of
poultry, it is important to protect
personnel from dust. Tyvek fabric
has a tightness level for particles
down to 1µm diameter. In
combination with sealed seams
and the option to seal the zipper
area, such garments are said to
represent an optimised solution if
no wet decontamination is
required.
Should there be a risk of faecal
contact or other potentially
contaminated liquid under low
pressure, DuPont recommends
that an impermeable apron, such
as one made from Tychem C,
should be worn over a Tyvek
Classic Plus suit.
For wet decontamination,
Tychem suits combined with Virkon
S disinfectant are said to provide
an excellent solution. More articles from DuPont UK Ltd: |
