New eBook explains risks of washing PPE at home
24 September 2024
WASHING PERSONAL protective equipment (PPE) at home can significantly compromise its effectiveness.
As an employer, it’s crucial to maintain PPE to ensure employee safety. Home laundering can undermine the protective capabilities of PPE, putting your workforce at risk and exposing you to liability for accidents or injuries. Choose professional laundering services to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your PPE.
In industrial sectors, workwear serves as a crucial protective barrier against life-threatening risks like fire or electric arcs and prevents contamination from being brought home. A new eBook from CLEAN, a workwear rental specialist, explores the debate between home washing and professional laundering of workwear and PPE, highlighting the associated risks.
Using a professional laundry service like CLEAN can help alleviate the burden of maintaining workwear.
