Strengthen emergency readiness through standardized protective apparel

In healthcare facilities, patient care goes beyond clinical duties. Addressing the challenge of managing environments where hazardous chemicals, biological agents, and potent compounds are regularly present also helps keep patients and staff safe. From industrial cleaning and maintenance to pharmacy compounding and emergency decontamination, these tasks require robust protective apparel to safeguard staff and maintain compliance. A system-wide apparel playbook supports an all-hazards approach, helping to meet EM.09.01.01 requirements, simplify training and foster greater confidence in responding to incidents. Standardization also improves coordination with fire, EMS and regional partners.

Tyvek® and Tychem® garments provide reliable, comfortable protection for chemical, biohazard and decontamination scenarios—supported by selection guidance, training and wear trials.
