FAQs

What personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for boat maintenance?
Essential PPE includes:

• Coveralls: Protect against paint, solvents, and debris.
• Gloves: Nitrile or neoprene gloves for chemical resistance.
• Safety Glasses or Goggles: Shield eyes from splashes and particles.
• Respirators: Protect your lungs against fumes and dust.
• Hearing Protection: Earplugs or earmuffs for loud environments.

Are disposable coveralls suitable for all maintenance activities?
Disposable coveralls are ideal for tasks involving paints, solvents, or fiberglass, offering protection and easy disposal. However, for repeated use or heavy-duty tasks, reusable coveralls may be more cost-effective and durable.
