Implementation of the New ASTM F1461 Practice for a Chemical Protective Program

Source

The ASTM Committee F23.7 on use has written a new standard practice for the development and implementation of a management program for the selection, use and maintenance of clothing to provide protection against potentially hazardous chemicals. The practice lists 11 minimum program requirements including the requirement for a written program document. At this time, there are no specific regulatory requirements for a written program document for the selection and use of chemical protective clothing. Nevertheless, it is clear that a written management plan would be beneficial. The ASTM standard practice represents a consensus program document that should serve as a model for organizations interested in reducing the risk of worker injuries and illness from dermal hazards.
