Dupont Personal Protection has set up an online training course that is intended to provide assistance in selecting protective clothing, ensuring that Type 4 spray-resistant chemical protective suits are worn in complete safety.

This new, educational training tool is completely free of charge and accessible from the company’s home page at www.dpp-europe.com.

Presented in the form of a guide, it should take safety managers and users only five minutes to understand the key criteria for selecting appropriate Type 4 coveralls. The online training course is interactive and particularly relevant for industries using sensitive application methods, where greater protection against liquids and dusts is required and in which allergenic sprays or compounds are used.

Dupont has drawn up a list of five essential criteria that should be considered when selecting chemical protective clothing: seams, permeation, abrasion, permeability and CE marking.

Customers are guided through the online mini-training course via two tabs; ‘criteria’ and ‘explanation’. With supporting graphs, illustrations and videos, they can easily check whether the protective clothing selected is suitable for its intended use.

On completion of the questionnaire, users can download a free, more detailed document on the five key criteria, supplemented by seven additional criteria: certification and quality, resistance to particle penetration, market information, use in clean rooms, linting, biological and antistatic protection.
