Helping cut burn risk
July 1st 2007 The risk of exposure to electric arc
is a hot topic when working with
electricity. No matter how many
steps are taken to minimise the
potential for an accident, it is
crucial to be prepared for the worst
as Paul Reader, Empower's
electrical training specialist
explains week after week at the
company's training centre in
Nottinghamshire. Having witnessed
the technologies, exacting
standards and attention to detail at
DuPont's garment testing facility in
Geneva, Reader recommends use
of flame resistant protective
coveralls, such as those made of
DuPont NOMEX.
Layered garments made of
NOMEX can stand the arc blast,
absorb the bulk of the radiant heat
energy caused by electric arc or
flash fire and help minimise the
burn injury level through its
inherent flame resistant properties. More articles from DuPont De Nemours (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l,: |
