Features:

Workers operating with a full-body harness in environments where hazardous particle or light liquid aerosol hazards are present, previously had to compromise between efficient personal protection* and protecting their full-body harness against external contamination.

The new Tyvek® 500 HP TY178S HP garment offers a unique solution – protection of both the wearer and the full-body harness – by providing a barrier between the user and the particle or light liquid aerosol hazards* in the environment. Designed to be worn over a full-body harness, the innovative, patent-pending garment design allows workers to access and utilize multiple D-Rings on their full-body harness while providing an ideal balance of protection, durability, and comfort.

This new TY178S HP model has four attached sleeves for use with front, back and side D-Rings of a full-body harness. The off-centered zipper entry allows accommodating the front D-Ring sleeve for front D-Ring connection. *The user must ensure the garment is suitable for the chemical hazard before use. Please refer to chemical permeation data available in SafeSPEC™ to help you understand the level of protection the garment offers.

• Dynamic Fall Test with an articulated mannequin – Tested in an independent testing laboratory as well as at a harness manufacturer with a conclusion that the Tyvek® 500 HP TY178S HP garment is not anticipated to affect the dynamic fall test performance of the full-body harness when worn underneath this garment. The test is successful as it demonstrated that the Tyvek® 500 HP TY178S HP garment is not impairing the proper function of the full-body harness in case of a fall.
