Standard on Protective Ensembles for Technical Rescue Incidents
The Standard on Protective Ensembles for Technical Rescue Incidents illustrates the guidelines and requirements for the protective gear that individuals wear in emergency situations to ensure safety and reduce risk.
This protective gear includes but is not limited to safety helmets, protective suits, and personal protective clothing.
Construction Industry
For instance, on construction sites, safety helmets and equipment are standard, ensuring each worker's protection.
Medical Field
In the medical field, personal protective clothing is essential, particularly when dealing with infection zones.
This could constitute gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection, and masks.
Highly Infectious Environments
In more dangerous or highly infectious settings such as BSL-4 laboratories, workers often wear protective suits that maintain a positive pressure to prevent leakage and potential contamination.
These suits are also equipped with their own air supply to further secure the wearer and maintain the laboratory's biosafety level.
