How Does Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Fit into Hazmat Safety?
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential component of hazmat safety protocols. It includes items such as gloves, masks, goggles, and protective clothing designed to protect individuals from exposure to hazardous substances. Toxicologists help determine the appropriate level of PPE required based on the toxicity and exposure risk of the materials involved. Proper use of PPE is critical to prevent adverse health effects in hazmat situations.
