There is no room for error in restoration when dealing with employee and occupant safety. The restorer must consider other options before resorting to personal protective equipment (PPE). Restorers are exposed to too many situations where hazardous materials, pathogens, and other toxic substances are present, even on the most “routine” restoration jobs. If your business is not protecting your workers, you are probably not protecting your customers either.
Most of us understand that grabbing personal protective equipment (PPE) out of the truck is the last resort and a proper site safety assessment should be completed first. But there are many restorers who approach this in a wildly different manner in regards to their day to day job functions.
