The world may now be familiar with Personal Protection Equipment, but as those in the safety industry know: PPE is not a new concept. With the increase in concerns for hygiene and safety when it comes to individual and shared PPE, the more questions safety professionals have.
In this episode of the podcast, we focus on those that don FR/AR PPE each work day and the hygiene practices safety professionals must go through when cleaning and disinfecting these pieces. I am pleased to have Stephen Morrill, Marketing Manager for Westex by Milliken, join me on this episode of the podcast to talk about the most frequently asked questions when it comes to FR/AR PPE.
