This tool aims to offer Ansell personal protective equipment
(PPE) suggestions along with appropriate data on these products,
based on the chemicals, hazards and conditions you selected.
AnsellGUARDIAN® Chemical Advanced Product selector is designed to
aid in product selection given a series of general conditions and
Ansell’s experience on what are commonly the most suitable
solutions. Every application is unique, what may be suitable for
one application may not be suitable for another, and our laboratory
testing cannot account for all workplace conditions or special
hazards. Because of this, the information we supply in this process
is intended to aid the Health and Safety professional at your
organization with carrying out a risk assessment and is not
designed to replace it. It is the responsibility of your
organization’s Health and Safety professional to undertake a risk
assessment before choosing the appropriate PPE for the task at hand.
For certain hazards, additional information has been supplied
and accounted for in the product suggestions. Ansell in no way
guarantees that this information is comprehensive, accurate, or all
hazardous materials have been accounted for.
Any data supplied by Ansell including physical properties,
normalised permeation times, penetration data or degradation data,
is only relevant to the site under test and may not be applicable
to all parts of the garment. Chemical ingress or physical
properties may vary around seams, zips, visors or any other joins
or components of the PPE unless that join or component is what was
specifically tested.
In some cases, no single product or combination of products
may satisfy all scenarios selected. In these cases, we suggest
contacting us to speak with an Ansell representative on your
options.
Some chemical data shown in this report are estimations based on
currently available data and extrapolations from laboratory test
results and information regarding the chemicals’ composition.
Particular conditions in your workplace, including synergistic
effects of mixing chemicals, may cause the performance of PPE to
vary. Estimations are subject to change if new testing is carried
out or new information is available providing better grounds for
extrapolations. For these reasons, any information in this report
is provided for informational purposes only and Ansell
fully disclaims any liability including warranties (express or
implied) related to any statement contained herein and/or the
services being rendered.
