You've worn tyveck suits? I'm not buying either.I've had way to much haz-mat training to agree with your statement.Have you worn a tyvek suit? they aren't as durable as you think they are. and they aren't made of cloth fabricYes it is. But it is very durable too. And the barrier is woven into the fabric, instead of it being a film or outer layer. The proper protocols were followed. The biggest drawback to the containment suits is that they limit your vision. That is why the medical protocol officer was there to make sure they didn't have any problems.
They are not meant to be worn in a knife fight. Sharp edges should be avoided in any containment suit. That is part of why the medical protocol officer was there.
And I never said they were made of cloth. Tyvek is a Dupont made fabric.
Those suits aren't as durable as you think.
The chem suits I've worn are very durable..........They are wearing level 4 suits..........I'm not biting.
Whatever.........I work in a refinery, and in the process of making gasoline their is a lot of Nasty Chemicals in this plant. Which require opening lines which even flushed could have trapped chemicals in pockets of the process pipe. On some of these process lines you are required to wear Fresh Air as well. With a stand bye in a Scott Air Pack...............I have done them both. When electrical work was slow I worked with our pipe department and did exactly what I am stating..............Including replaced caustic acid pipes and a lot of other nasties.............
Secondly, I have worked 2 Nuclear plant shutdowns since getting out of the Navy. Full dress in contaminated areas.......
Finally, I was in the military, and believe it our not we did CBR TRAINING THERE.............
So, spare me your BS on wearing suits.........
BTW.......The suits we wear are hot as hell in the middle of summer taking out a process pipe.......You are swimming in sweat before you get out of them.
