If it got real nasty then it was all that with another plastic over suit over top of that with head and waist dosimetry packs. We had all sorts of masks for working in fume hoods and the like. Some were air supplied some were just cartridge/canister types. I assume you or someone was carrying/wearing an O2 and gas detector sniffer of some sort? Oh yah and today it's the full setup and we can buy it ourselves and invoice them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the PPE or O2/gas detectors? I would hope these places have them on site and they are calibrated before every use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are pricey suckers to say the least and need special care and mtce to look after them properly. PPE isn't cheap either, but I know OPG likely paid 2-3 times what it was actually worth elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been trained/tested on how to use one and to purchase the proper size? Curious, do they make you be clean shaven as well? Sulpher dioxide/monoxide is nasty shit so you want to make sure you're not breathing any of it in.. Edited February 22, 2020 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our country, you'd likely be given a pass and a hug. Seriously, if the mask doesn't fit properly/snug enough and doesn't pass the fit test, both negatively and positively, you shouldn't be allowed access.
