PPE and RPE are your last lines of defence against asbestos fibres.
Overalls
- Disposable overalls – Type 5 (BS EN ISO 13982-1+A1) are suitable.
- You may need waterproof overalls for outdoor work.
- Wear one size too big to help to prevent ripping at the seams.
- If the cuffs are loose, seal them with tape.
- Avoid wearing a long-sleeved shirt – these are difficult to cover
- properly.
- Wear the overall legs over footwear. Tucking them in lets dust into
- footwear.
- Wear the hood over RPE straps.
- Dispose of used overalls as asbestos waste
