Tip #3

Comfort and Heat Stress

Can the PPE be used in all seasons or will it only be comfortable in high temperature or low temperatures? It’s important to also find out if the PPE allows for sufficient airflow to reduce heat-stress.

Comfort is important but shouldn’t be at cost to protection. Never sacrifice protection for comfort. The key is to strike a balance, but with a slant more towards protection. It is called protective equipment afterall.
