How to choose?
Of course, preference should be given to natural or proven synthetic fabrics. Newfangled options, until they have been tested in practice, should definitely be avoided. Ease of cleaning (washing) and mechanical strength play an important role. When an employee has to carefully calculate his every move, fearing otherwise tearing his clothes, this is no good. Even in relatively cold weather and in cool places, it is easy to sweat during operation, therefore moisture removal and level of ventilation are important.
It is also necessary to consider:
- seasonality of use;
- load intensity;
- list and intensity of hazardous factors;
- aesthetic appearance;
- the convenience of use;
- life time;
- compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements.

Types and models
A good option for a suit for work is "Focus" made of mixed fabrics with a total density of 0.215 kg per 1 sq. m. The surface of the base material is supplemented with a water-repellent impregnation. The gray and red suit looks pretty good.
The Hermes suit is also designed for a wide range of not too dangerous industries. For its manufacture, the same fabric is used as in the previous case (polyester with the addition of cotton). However, the relationship between the components is slightly changed. It is possible to wash in an industrial washing machine at temperatures up to 30 degrees maximum. A strip with a light reflection of 0.05 m wide is provided.
They differ primarily depending on the specialization of users:
- security guards;
- movers;
- builders;
- miners;
- electricians.
V-KL-010 - straight cut suit of OPZ and MV category. The main components are a jacket and a semi-overalls. Provision is made for the production of the product from the fabric selected by the customer. A turn-down collar with a one-piece cut is used. The jacket fastens with 5 buttons.
What it is?
The dirt that inevitably arises in any plant, factory, combine and in any workshop or workshop is also not just an aesthetic flaw. It turns out to be a source of serious harm to health. A suit for protection from general industrial pollution and mechanical stress should be recognized as one of the important achievements of modern civilization. After all, he has to protect his owners from the widest range of contaminating agents. Among them are not only household dust, industrial dust and various suspensions.
Sawdust and debris, small particles of various substances, soot, soot ... listing all the possible options would take more than one page. But one way or another, the suit basically has to protect its wearers from AHOs in a powdery and dusty state. A little less often workers are faced with liquid pollution. And in some industries, there is an inverse relationship between the sources of dirt.
But the tasks do not end there. After all, it is still necessary to guarantee resistance to CF, that is, to mechanical influences of various nature. Externally minor shocks and vibrations, pinching and crushing can be extremely dangerous. The suit must also protect its wearer from small cuts, which are often found in production. A side function is the absorption of heat upon contact with unusually heated objects.
GOST 1987 applies to suits with protection against OPZ and MV. According to the standard, the fittings must withstand chemical cleaning and heat treatment. Dozens of acceptable types of fabric have been introduced into GOST.Nowadays, you can use different types of fabrics at the customer's choice. Depending on the needs of customers, special suits are bought ready-made or sewn to order.
