Protection

Using the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) when painting a narrowboat is essential for your safety and health. PPE includes respirators or masks, gloves, eye protection, and coveralls. Use the correct masks according to the MSDS data to protect your lungs from inhaling harmful fumes and particles while sanding or painting. Gloves protect your hands from chemicals and abrasive surfaces. Eye protection safeguards against paint overspray and dust, preventing eye damage. Coveralls prevent paint or other substances from contacting your skin, protecting you from harmful chemicals and skin irritation. Following PPE guidelines and using the correct equipment reduces your risk of injury or illness, ensuring a safe and healthy environment.
