Global trends in the respiratory equipment market.
The chemical industry leads the way in workplace safety and, in particular, in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) programs. Due to the use of a wide range of chemicals and the potentially harsh nature of those chemicals, airborne contaminants are high on the list of workplace hazards in the chemical industry.
For that reason, today, many chemical manufacturers are experts in respiratory protection and their staff are well trained and familiar with respiratory equipment before they start on the job.
The chemical industry’s stringent protocols and well-managed safety programs have driven the growth of PPE in this sector. This has accelerated the use of innovation in protective clothing and visor coatings. Despite the development and adoption of innovation in materials, there has been little or no innovation in respiratory equipment.
