Description:
Liquid splash-protective hood(certified as compliant with the
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 requirements of
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1990).
ImportantFeatures:
A hood is a separate element of the liquid splash-protective ensemble or an item of protective clothing designed to provide protection to the head and neck (excluding the torso, arms, hands, legs, and feet when garments, gloves, and footwear are not provided). Hoods are generally one-piece clothing items that are designed to interface with specific respirators and may have different types of openings for this interface (rubber gasket, elastic, or tie string). Liquid splash hoods incorporate different materials which may be coated or special laminates. Some garment materials may be breathable, but still resist penetration by liquids.
Operating Considerations:
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 does not address liquid splash protection against chemical warfare agents (CWA); it only addresses industrial chemicals. If
CWA
Chemical Warfare Agents
liquid splash protection is required, an
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1994 Class 3 ensemble should be selected. An
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 ensemble is appropriate for protecting decontamination personnel at an incident involving biological or radiological particulates as defined in the
SEL
Standardized Equipment List
Hazard-Role Matrix.
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 addresses the second tier of hazardous materials response protection. This standard establishes the requirements for chemical liquid splash protection where the chemical vapors that exist during a hazardous material response are no longer a hazard. The liquid splash-protective ensembles are intended for situations where the primary form of chemical exposure is short-term intermittent contact with liquid chemicals that do not produce skin-toxic or carcinogenic vapors.
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 further permits the individual certification of garments, gloves, and footwear, which may not be part of an overall ensemble. The primary purpose of
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1992 is to establish requirements for clothing that keeps liquids from contacting the wearer's skin. Use considerations are provided in OSHA Title 29
CFR
Code of Federal Regulations
Sections 1910.120 and 1910.132, and
NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program."
