Tyvek, garments

DuPont Protection Technologies announced Joel Turner, Robert Maddox, Dennis Rains and James White as winners of the DuPont Tyvek "Dirty Work" Photo Contest. The online contest demonstrated the many ways in which workers use Tyvek garments to help keep safe and clean on the job. Check out all the entries at www.tyvekphotocontest. dupont.com. 

DuPont is calling on lyvek wearers to get down and dirty — and to take a picture of it. Workers can win a NASCAR Racing Experience weekend trip for two by submitting photos of themselves in a Tyvek garment in their dirtiest, grimiest, sludgiest state on the job. Photos can be sent to www.tyvekphotocontest.dupont.com. The contest is open until September 30, 2011. 

Other relatively inexpensive personal protective items that are not absolutely essential but should be considered are protective garments and gloves. One-piece coveralls with head covers and booties made from lightweight plastic such as Tyvek are relatively inexpensive, semi-repellent, and disposable. These types of suits are used in the nuclear and chemical industries to provide an added protection against contamination. Tyvek suits have sewn seams and are not recommended for chemical protection, except for vapors of low toxic solvents. Saranex-coated Tyvek or other heavy multilayer suits are required for long-term protection from chemicals. These heavier specialized suits significantly increase heat stress and should not be used by untrained personnel.
