Protective clothing is important in order to eliminate the risks of illness problems such as injury or death and obligations imposed by legal regulations and to provide a safe and safe working environment for everyone.
Protective clothing refers to clothing designed specifically to help employees avoid danger and injury. In general, after making a risk assessment, it is decided what type of protective clothing needs. This type of clothing includes safety boots, safety glass, helmets and special work clothes. The choice of protective clothing depends mostly on the company's subject of work and what activities should be protected.
Biological agents found in working environments include bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms and associated toxins. These affect human health negatively from allergic reactions to fatal conditions. These microorganisms, which are common in the natural environment, are becoming a potential hazard in the workplace.
Employees can be harmed by being infected by a biological agent, exposure to toxins produced by the biological agent, and causing allergic reactions. For this reason, it is necessary to take safety measurements in work environments and take necessary measures.
The EN 14126 standard is a standard that determines the requirements for materials, stitches and garments and determines whether protective clothing against infective agents provides the necessary protection. This standard includes five different test methods to determine the class of protection against various specific biohazards. The higher the degree of protection, the higher the level of protection.
The standard in question was published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) in our country with the following title: TS EN 14126 Protective clothing - Against pathogenic organisms - Performance characteristics and test methods.
Within the scope of protective clothing tests, our organization also provides protective clothing testing services against TS EN 14126 Infective agents.
