This profession sheet is intended for all professionals in contact permanently or occasionally with asbestos. Body protection is the most important PPE together with the mask to protect against asbestos fibers. The EN ISO13982-1 standard (type 5 air-tight against solid particles) is required to protect against asbestos fibers. But did you know? For a disposable coverall to be type 5 approved, laboratory tests allow up to 15% inward leakage rate. Following the decree of the French Ministry of Labor requiring tight seams, the INRS recommends disposable clothing with properties ensuring optimal protection. Our guide invites you to compare asbestos disposable clothing, as well as introduces you to the professions most exposed to asbestos risk. 1st STEP Select a tear resistant material Most asbestos coveralls are made in SMS, a material known for its breathable properties. However, according to the INRS, this rather economic material must meet the minimum mechanical resistance criteria to avoid any premature tears. The mechanical stresses during asbestos removal tasks are intense.
