Visors, protective

Persoimel protective equipment (total body and face visor protection) will be required to be used in operations of any similar jobs handling very hot water where contact was possible. The dangers of very hot water and the associated use of flexible removable hoses will be stressed. 

It is used extensively in the optical industry for visors, protective lenses, industrial lenses and corrective lenses. PC has high transparency, dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, good processability and outstanding impact strength.

The risk of bums is normally only experienced when filling a magnet with nitrogen or helium. You need to be protected in case the liquid spills or the transfer line breaks. Protection just means covering up any exposed skin (lab coat, visor and thick gloves are normally sufficient). At all other times, the cryogens are safely in their cans and should stay there unless something catastrophic happens. 

After lunch I saw Clarence Merrell slumping in a lobby chair. His hand was like a visor over his forehead, as if protecting his eyes from a glare. "How come you re not over at the courthouse " I asked him. 

Despite wearing protective equipment that included disposable overalls and compressed-air-fed visors or full-facepiece masks with filters for dusts and vapors, hexachloroethane was detected in the plasma of exposed workers (Selden et al. 1993). After 5 weeks of exposure, plasma levels of hexachloroethane in 12 workers were 7.3 + 6 pg/L. Mild dermal irritation was also noted. If the skin irritation was a response to hexachloroethane rather than trauma from the protective clothing, the irritation suggests that the principal exposure route may have been dermal. Absorption of a saturated hexachloroethane solution across human skin was estimated to be 0.0230 mg/cm2/hour based on the physical properties of hexachloroethane (Fiserova-Bergerova et al. 1990). 

Exposure Levels in Humans. Hexachloroethane has not been detected in human tissues as a result of exposure to this chemical from environmental media. Biological monitoring data were not located for populations surrounding hazardous waste sites. Hexachloroethane has been detected in the plasma of workers at concentrations of 7.3 6 pg/L, despite the use of protective equipment including disposable overalls and compressed-air-fed visors or full-facepiece masks with filters (Selden et al. 1994). Because of protective equipment, exposure concentrations could not be related to plasma levels of hexachloroethane. 

Where monitors are placed close to hazards, such as at helicopter landing sites, supplement monitor heat should be considered for operator protection. The heat shield should not obstruct the visor of the operator and clear heat resistant plexi-glasses have been used at some installations. 

Foams of PP are used for side protection of doors, armrests with integrated baby seat, floor insulation, heat and phonic insulation of transmission tunnels, trunks, cushioning of sun visors, steering columns, knee bolsters, armrests, tool boxes and racks. .. 

An adequate supply of protective clothing including safety visors and goggles, protective gloves, rubber aprons and boots. 

CAUTION Great care should be taken in the handling of hydrazine hydrate since it is highly corrosive and a suspected carcinogen protective gloves and a face visor should be worn. 

For the liquid phase freezer, ampoules are transferred to canes (Fig. 7.5) or cryoboxes and immersed CAREFULLY into the liquid nitrogen vat. Gloves and goggles or visors must be worn to protect yourself from splashes of liquid nitrogen. Canes have the problem that vials can be lost from them or are difficult to remove when required, and the locator system of cryoboxes (Thermolyne Appendix 3) has advantages.

Facepiece materials must be chemically resistant and impermeable to agents ( chemically hard ) while being flexible (especially at the seals), comfortable, non-toxic to the skin, easily workable, inexpensive and have a long shelf-life. Eyepieces and visors must also be transparent. It is difficult to combine all of these features in one material in particular, flexible and chemically hard materials are typically difficult to work with and uncomfortable next to the skin. On the other hand, easily workable and comfortable materials tend to absorb agent (nerve agents are good solvents), which will then off-gas , e.g. in a collective protection system. In extreme cases, the agent can penetrate the material itself. Chemical hardness is of primary importance and most facepieces are made of chlorobutyl rubber. 

New materials are under development which combine physical and chemical hardness with easy workability. Some materials have selective permeability, e.g. to water vapour, which could help reduce the heat load on the face. Some materials are transparent and flexible, but still provide good ballistic protection, allowing the use of panoramic visors that flex and allow the facepiece to conform better to different face shapes and movements. New, more permanent hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings are also under development to help reduce eyepiece/visor misting.

Protection for the mouth and nose should be provided by the use of approved respiratory protective equipment. In some circumstances, the face and neck can be protected with barrier cream, but this may cause increased sweating, in which case a ventilated visor may be necessary. A cloth worn around the neck may reduce chaffing of the skin by clothing. 

EPP is currently used in transport packaging applications and, increasingly, in the automotive sector. Examples of articles made from this material include side-on collision protection elements, sun visors, column and door moldings and bumper core elements (Eigs. 26-30). EPS is used mainly for packaging and heat insulation in the construction industry (Table 7). 

Lexan is a clear, transparent, strong, and impact-resistant plastic with literally countless applications. It is used in both protective and everyday eyeglasses as illustrated in Figure 27.10. The Apollo 11 astronauts wore Lexan helmets with Lexan visors on their 1969 trip to the moon. CDs and DVDs are Lexan polycarbonate, as are many cell phones, automobile dashpanels, and headlight and taillight lenses.
