Thus for this very reason it is important that everyone in such situations to wear protective clothing properly in order to ensure that they are safe.

While choosing the best protective gear, there are factors that one should consider. The materials one is to use while performing their tasks should guide them in making the right choice, workers should also assess their work and come up with the kind of risk they might be exposing themselves to and therefore take appropriate safety measures to curb them. If they may be expecting chemical or physical risks like abrasion, extreme temperatures, puncture or tearing, then the workers should wear protective gloves and gas masks.

Other factors to take into consideration while taking up the most appropriate protection gear are like the flexibility of the task, the touch sensitivity needed for the job, the contact period and type and also very important is the kind of damage caused by exposure. This will help the workers to put up decontamination procedures.

Workers wearing certain shielding clothing can make it easier and possible to identify them to certain jobs or workstation. A worker in a laboratory donned in a lab coat can easily be singled out as a chemist or a lab practitioner. In the case of a construction site, work site crew can be identified from others with their hard hats that they use to protect their heads.

Wearing protective clothes also helps to save a lot of money in terms of expenses that would otherwise be incurred in case of work related injuries. Workers do not waste their wages for treatment.
