Anyone give any thought about having these?
My employer recently had me go to a job site that has Sulfuric acid. The only way I could enter the area was with full chem garments from head to toe (supplied by my employer), no respirator needed just a face shield.
Curious about what all this suite could provide protection from I did some research and pulled the data sheet.
The suite is a Dupont Tychem CPF3, what caught my attention on the data sheet was the Chemical agents that the suite can provide protection from, of course a good respirator or gas mask would be needed also.
Here is a list of Chem warefare agents in the data sheets that the suite can prodive protection from, it also gives you amount of time the suite can provide that protection.
1) Sarin
2) Soman
3) Sulfur Mustard
4) Lewisite
5) VX Nerve Agent
So, what do you think? Would there be enough risk to keep something like this in your preps?
I just asked our safety guy what this suite cost, I was told about $500, This would not be tops on my list of prep items to buy first.
