WHAT PPE DO WE USE?
Penetration Degradation Breakthrough Time Permeation Rate
We Need to Know the Following Before we can Determine What PPE to Wear.
What form is the contaminant? How toxic is the substance? What is the individual’s sensitivity to the
hazard? Can you taste or smell the contaminant so
you can tell if there has been a breakthrough?
What is the concentration of the substance?
How long will the worker be exposed to the substance?
