Personal safety equipment

Access to cell rooms is usually restricted to authori2ed personnel. Required personal safety equipment includes mbber shoes or overshoes, goggles, hard hat, and some sort of emergency respirator. Safety training courses are generally required before one is allowed to enter a cell house without a guide.

From a health perspective, there are few redeeming features of solvents except when used as anesthetics. Clearly the simple recommendation is to avoid exposure unless administered for some medical reason. In the workplace, appropriate ventilation and personal safety equipment should be in place at all times. There are numerous national and international regulations on solvent exposure in the workplace. Substitution of less-toxic solvents in processes and products can reduce the risk of injury. 

Additional methods for the prevention of toxicity in the workplace include the use of personal safety equipment—protective clothing, gloves, and goggles are the most important. In particularly hazardous operations, closed-circuit air masks, gas masks, and so on, may also be necessary.

European directives are an important instrument of the New Approach in the field of technical harmonisation and standardisation. They are intended to remove the technical barriers by harmonising product regulations and conformity evaluations. No specifications but only essential requirements restricted to the protection of health and safety of users and the protection of environment, are laid down in the New Approach directives. Up to 2000 some 20 directives have come into force. The directives cover products where safety aspects are relevant such as lifts, pressure equipment, explosion-proof materials, toys and personal safety equipment.

A newer approach is to develop a copolymer of polycarbonate with the appropriate monomer that offers benefits which polycarbonate lacks. Such specialty polycarbonate copolymers offered by GE Plastics have provided customers with new ways of differentiating their products. For example, polycarbonate-polysiloxane based resins deliver very high ductility and impact performance in extremely low temperatures allowing their specification into mobile phones, automotive components and personal safety equipment. Similarly, resorcinol phthalate based resins offer outstanding long-term...
