2.4 Gloves a)Abrasion Resistance -the ability of tha glove material to withstand the scuffing action an the surface la which it is exposed b)ACTP—a rating system that can be found on gloves that uses a systern of numbers, usually numbers 1 through 4, that indicates the protection level. The higher the number the greater the level of protection. A=Abrasion, C = Cut, T = Tear, P = Puncture. C) Breakthrough Time- the elapsed time between initial contact of the chemical an the glove surface and the analytical detection of the chemiCal on the inside of the glove. d) Degradation Characteristics - when the material of the glove itself begins to break dawn_ Lt} Laceration Resistance- the ability of the glove material to resist cuts from sharp objects. 0 Penetration Resistance - the ability of the glove material to resist puncture due to sharp objects. g) Permeation -the pr¢cess by which a chemical ifansfers through a protective clothing material ort a molecular level. I t involves_ (i)absorption of r niakncules of the cheftcal into the outside surface of the material; (2)diffusion of the absorbed molecules in the material (3) desorption of the molecules from the inside surface of the material into the collecting medium h) Tactile Dexterity-the- property of the glove material which enables its user to feel and allow ffeedorn of movement 2.5 Miscellaneous a) ATP — Arc Thermal Performance Value is a rating system that can be found on flame resistant clolhing. The ATPV represents the incident thermal energy the fabric carr withstand before the wearer experiences a second-degree burn. b) Flame Resistant Clothing — is designed to prevent or limit thermal burn injury to a person's skin in the case of ars Electrical Arc Flash event. c) Fall Protection Equipment—consists of an anchor point, full body harness and self-retractable lanyard that is used by authorized partners when working above 4 feet without the use of a ladder. d) HRC —The Hazard Risk Category indicates the level of heat energy that an FRC garment will protect the wearer. The calculation to determine the heat energy level is callcm . + HRC 1 protects against 4 cal fcm2 HRC 2 protects against 8 calfcm2 • HRC 3 protects against 25 cal/cm2 • HRC 4 protects against 40 calfcm 2 e) Safety Toa Footwear— footwear that has a pieoe of steel or composite material inserted by the manufacturer at the toe end of the boot to help protect toes from being gushed of dismembered.
