Issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents by profession - standard

Standard standards for issuing personal protective equipment

In accordance with established standards, funds must be issued for certain categories of employees. This is how protection is used when working with various hazardous substances. Moisture-absorbing creams and gels protect workers when working with insoluble substances, such as varnishes, lubricants when working on cars, petroleum products, etc. Hydrophobic agents, on the contrary, are used to protect against water-based substances: they are issued when working with acids and alkalis and salts.

Attention! If it is difficult to determine exactly which specific substance will have to be worked with, combined mixtures are used.

Anti-irritation substances are useful for welding work, activities under increased ultraviolet radiation and when exposed to temperature and wind.

Work with possible bacteriological contamination should not be carried out without disinfectants, which should be applied to all exposed areas of skin or clothing. They will disinfect, protect and maintain the health of the worker.

During seasonal work, protection from blood-sucking insects or the bites of poisonous arthropods is especially important. In this case, protective substances of a biological nature must be provided.

Soap and detergents are useful for work with possible contamination. Moreover, these substances are also divided into several levels, depending on the difficulties that arise during rinsing.

Restorative creams and gels can be useful in all of the above cases, if, despite increased attention to protection, it was not possible to avoid the negative impact of the environment on humans.

To whom and how much

Standard standards for the free distribution of cleaning agents and disinfectants to employees were approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 1122n dated December 17, 2010.
