Don't Take Work Contaminants Home With You
GlobeNewswire - Mon Nov 30, 7:12AM CST
Laundering your work uniforms at home may seem sensible, but is it? According to studies, many workers regularly expose their families to potential health risks and don't even know it. Home washing machines and dryers aren't equipped to handle all contaminated clothing and can become toxic zones where contaminants can linger only to be dispersed later. There are also risks of fire or explosion when certain solvents or other chemicals are brought home on work clothing. And, workers in industries where flame resistant workwear is the norm can unknowingly compromise the necessary safety characteristics of their protective work clothing.
