DuPont offers a range of protective clothing that addresses the occupational needs of government professionals in the law enforcement and fire service fields. Employee protection is of the utmost importance. It helps employers avoid worker downtime, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations and the high cost of absenteeism due to on-the-job injuries. With DuPont protective apparel, employers can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their workers are protected from a variety of hazards.

Uses for DuPont PPE

Crime scene investigation

Evidence must be protected from human contamination, while officers must be protected against hazardous particulates and light liquids.

Prisoner transport

Prisoners may be required to doff regular clothing before being transported to facilities.

Correctional facilities

Cell extractions often occur under duress, resulting in officer exposure to potentially infectious bodily fluids.

Fire service and hazmat

Emergency workers and first responders face a number of toxic—and sometimes exotic—chemical, thermal and biological threats such as toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and viruses.

Clandestine lab investigation

Investigators face potential hazards, including chemical and thermal (flash fire) exposure.
