Clean PPE is essential
Here's why
During a fire, protective gear absorbs harmful contaminants – turning life-safing equipment into a potential health hazard.
Starting each shift with clean, decontaminated gear – and ensuring that contaminated PPE is properly cleaned and contained afterward – is as critical as wearing the gear itself.
And that’s exactly what Harstra delivers.
