These coveralls protect workers from hazardous dry particulates and hazardous light-chemical splash and spray. Dry particulates are larger in size than aerosols and include dust and dirt. Garments that provide light-chemical splash and spray resistance protect against inorganic acids, bases, and salts and are worn when cleaning tanks or hazardous waste cleanup when liquid jet streams are encountered. Coveralls are a single garment worn over personal clothing that protects the worker's front, back, arms, and legs. Continuous coverage prevents particles and aerosols from entering at the waist as can happen when wearing a separate shirt and pant.
