HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES


Bahri, who has worked at Malteurop for six years, says: "I felt safer, the seams are better protected and it fits better at the neck. Together with the dual zip fastener and dual flap, it is really sealed, which re-assures us.”


“WORKERS ARE EXPOSED TO THE


HAZARDS RELATED TO THE USE OF DILUTED BLEACH.”


Other colleagues agreed, observing that they found the Tychem® 4000 S easy to put on, lighter and more comfortable to wear than their previous protective workwear. The safety team was also particularly impressed with the coverall’s protective sleeves that stay in place much better due to the elasticated thumb loop at the wrist.


TRAINING IS KEY


TO SUCCESS The support Malteurop received from DuPont Protection Solutions did not stop at the selection of their preferred coverall: it also included advice about garment sizing and the adoption of best practice in their application. DuPont were also involved in training the teams to don the overall, carry out the cleaning and remove the overall.


Production Manager Mélissa Chauvière observes: “We now have precise safety procedures in place to protect our workforce. Before any chemical product is used, both permanent and temporary staff undergo training on putting on and removing the protective garments. Every task is described on an instruction sheet which workers have to read before starting any cleaning.”


And from the safety perspective, Véronique Coeffier concludes: “The support we received from DuPont has been a key driver to introducing a global approach to safety and involving the teams. We are really satisfied with the progress that has been made.”
