Chemical Response
Choosing the appropriate chemical protective clothing, accessories and other necessary
equipment to deal with a chemical exposure or chemical emergency has to be made by
qualified safety professionals.
Working with chemicals and responding to hazardous chemical emergencies can be very
complex and may involve chemicals other than those listed in the NFPA 1992 Standard on
Liquid Splash-Protective Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous Materials Emergencies, or
other published documentation.
Besides the specific chemical(s) encountered, other aspects such as the concentration,
temperature of the chemical, mixtures of chemicals, flammability, toxicity etc. have to be
considered.
Identify the chemicals before entering into the hazardous area in chemical protective
clothing. Always minimize the exposure to and avoid direct contact with chemicals as
much as possible.
