What additional protective gear is recommended for inspectors in dirty working conditions?

In dirty working conditions, inspectors are often exposed to hazardous materials, including asbestos particles and other contaminants. Wearing gloves and overalls is essential for protecting the skin from direct exposure to these harmful substances. Gloves provide a barrier against chemical irritants and physical contaminants, reducing the risk of skin contact with asbestos fibers, which can pose significant health hazards. Overalls serve to protect the entire body and clothing from dust and particulates, preventing contamination and making it easier to maintain clean work practices when leaving the site.

Additionally, overalls can be made from materials that resist absorption of hazardous particles, and they can be effectively removed and disposed of or cleaned to prevent spreading contamination. This choice of protective gear is particularly important in ensuring both personal safety and adherence to health regulations.

Other options may involve protective equipment as well, but gloves and overalls specifically address the direct exposure concerns associated with dirty working conditions encountered by inspectors.
