I received a call the other day on a subject that is of increasing concern in the fire restoration workplace. A restoration contractor was concerned about removing particle contaminants on fire losses to prevent their progressive release into respirable air over time, along with a potential for adverse health effects for occupants and workers who may have prolonged exposure.

You can’t underestimate safety, especially on the types of jobs that you’re likely to be called out to in the restoration industry.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is usually minimal when it comes to contents restoration. However, it all depends on what type of job it is.
