Selecting the appropriate PPE depends on several factors:
- Nature of the Chemicals: Understanding the properties of the chemicals being used is critical. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide valuable information on the required PPE. - Type of Reaction: The specific catalytic reactions being performed can dictate the level of protection needed. For instance, reactions involving highly exothermic processes may require more robust protection. - Exposure Risk: Assess the potential for exposure and choose PPE that offers adequate protection against identified risks.
