LIQUID SPLASH PROTECTIVE CLOTHING [1 record]

Record 1 1992-01-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Clothing (General)
  • Security
  • Occupational Health and Safety
DEF

Clothing that protects the wearer against chemical liquid splashes but not against chemical vapours or gases (Considered Level "B" Chemical protection). (NFPA 472). [Taken from CANUTEC emergency response guide for dangerous goods.]

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vêtements (Généralités)
  • Sécurité
  • Santé et sécurité au travail
OBS

Vêtements de protection résistant à la pénétration des produits chimiques liquides dangereux.

OBS

Le terme "projections" est nettement préférable à celui de "éclaboussures". "Éclabousser" veut dire "couvrir d'un liquide salissant qu'on a fait rejaillir accidentellement", et "éclaboussure" désigne une "goutte d'un liquide salissant qui a rejailli". Cet aspect "salissant" ne convient pas ici. Et "projections" se retrouve dans de bons ouvrages en français (dont les normes de l'AFNOR).
