Now more than ever, utility companies across the globe face increased competition, stricter regulations, limited government subsidies and social pressure for more clean energy sources.
To remain competitive, companies are upgrading to more efficient generation, transmission and distribution systems. These upgrades involve an important diversification of energy portfolio with a reduction in the single energy source from fossil fuels to different renewable sources.
As a result, workers in the utilities industry, who are responsible for providing electricity as an essential need for the world, are facing new and multiple workplace hazards in a very dynamic work environment. DuPont offers a broad range of PPE solutions to address these hazards, including: Nomex® garments for thermal and electric arc flash hazards; gloves made with Kevlar® for mechanical and multi-hazard protection; Tyvek® garments for protection against fine particle hazards and low level liquid splashes; Tychem® garments and gloves for protection against a wide range of chemicals; and ProShield® garments for protection against dirt and grime.
