Crime scene protection
February 1st 2008 Providing protection against
biological substances, waterbased
chemicals, liquid
splashes, dry particulate
hazards and dirt, coveralls
made of Tyvek are suitable
for use across a wide range
of scientific support
applications.
Scenes of Crime Officers
at Thames Valley Police
Service, for example, have
relied on the protection of
Tyvek Classic protective
garments for many years.
Doron Jensen, senior
scenes of crime officer,
comments "For officers
involved in the collection
and preservation of forensic
and photographic evidence,
wearing protective apparel is
standard practice. Evidence
gatherers are required to
don coveralls, masks, gloves
and overshoes before they
enter any crime scene. This
is to reduce the risk of any
additional skin cells, hair or
clothing fibres from entering
the vicinity and to help
protect the wearer from the
risk of exposure to biological
substances, dirt and liquid
splashes."
DuPont de Nemours has
extended the Tyvek offering
to a range of garments and
accessories that include
Tyvek, Tychem and Tychem
TK, which offer various
degrees of barrier protection. More articles from DuPont De Nemours (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l,: |
