Dear Ajit,

U may kindly explore other possibilities of hazard control and risk

reduction through,

- Engineering measures,

-Barriers and enclosures for the working personnel, etc.

and as a last resort the PPE may be considered as a means of personal

protection.

The high temperatures fire suits are for limited period emrgency

operations of fire fighting / rescue etc. and are not meant for

continuous wearing and use as WORKWEARS. For info and Pl look into

these aspects also.

At CPCL, we have variety of Fire proximity suits- meant for access and

approaching fire scene and fire entry suits - for required emergency

operations of fire fighting of very limited durations.

temperature of furnace is around 1500 and the furnace is an open

therefore surrounding temperature is around 800. In this area 1 or 2

person are working around 3-4 hrs. Please suggest me full body

protection for this person and also any other safety precaution we

have to take.

Thaks for your valuable help
