When you purchase a product, you expect it to work. Construction
workers on high-rise buildings need to be confident that their
safety harnesses will arrest a fall. Firefighters need to know that
their gloves and other protective equipment can withstand high
temperatures. Healthcare workers administering highly toxic
chemotherapy agents need to know that their gloves will withstand
penetration. For personal protective technologies (PPT)-where the
major purpose of the product is to protect the wearer against a
hazard-a deficit in product effectiveness can mean injury, illness,
or death. Examining the extent to which products meet specific
performance or design criteria is the focus of conformity
assessment efforts. For PPT conformity assessment, the ultimate
goal is preventing worker illness, injury, or death from hazardous
working conditions. Certifying Personal Protective Technologies
focuses on conformity assessment for occupational PPT-ensuring that
PPT are effective in preventing or reducing hazardous exposures or
situations that workers face in their jobs. Because respirators
already have an extensive testing and conformity assessment process
in place, this book specifically addresses conformity assessment
processes for other types of PPT, including eye and face
protection, gloves, hearing protectors, and protective clothing.
