Aviation and Safety 

Aviation professionals know the utmost importance of Safety and Security in their daily tasks and responsibilities.

Aircraft Accident Investigators

In certain circumstances, a self-protection is a must against any outside danger. That is the case for Aircraft Accident Investigators.

STI GmbH and ICA best answer this non-negotiable requirement you have: To provide a European certified high quality PPE to the persons in charge.

PPE, a Personal Protective Equipment, is a whole-body protective clothing. It is used to protect a person from any kind of chemical, biological and physical risks. 

Why is a PPE needed?

Because of the fibre composite materials in aircraft, highlighted in the graphic below, hazards are very high for human beings. They range from toxic dust in clothing, on the skin, on vehicles and can lead to inflammation of the lungs/respiratory tract, carcinogenic, injury to the skin/mucous membrane.

 For whom?

PPE is needed for Civil Aircraft Accident Investigators: These personnel involved with handling fibre composites, or working in areas where fibre composite dust may be present should wear full PPE.

The ATSB Safety Investigation Guidelines Manual – OH&S Guidelines specifies the equipment that transport safety investigators (TSIs) must wear when attending composite aircraft accident sites:

• rubber gloves beneath heavy leather gloves (as fibres may penetrate the skin causing irritation);

• safety goggles;

• a solid pair of boots;

• full-face dust and mist respirator capable of filtering particles  below 3μm in size (plus a supply of spare filters);

• chemical/biohazard protective suit; and

• protective overalls (ATSB 2007b), (Gandhi & Lyon 1998).

Aviation is a high regulated industry in terms of Security and Safety. You can be sure of the high quality of our PPE kit, which is also applicable for numerous other industries. In which other industries is a PPE useful?

Numerous industries are using PPE: 

· Aviation

· Maritime

· Defense

· Police

· Medical, Emergency and rescue services

· Food industry

· Chemical industry

· Pharmaceutical and biochemical industry

· Oil and gas industry

· Mining
