Title New personal protective equipment for workers in glassworks
Original title Noi echipamente de protecţie individuală pentru muncitorii din fabricile de sticlă [in Romanian]
Bibliographic information Feb. 1973, Vol.20, No.2, p.116-118. Illus.
Abstract Describes personal protective clothing (cuffs, gauntlets, leggings) specially designed for workers employed in glassmaking. Pigskin which has undergone vegetable tanning is the best material for the manufacture of this type of article, standing up better to the conditions in the glassmaking industry than polyvinyl chloride or other types of leather. These protective garments are perforated to facilitate thermal exchange.
