Dispositivi di protezione individuale


Definition from Wikipedia:
Con il termine dispositivi di protezione individuale (acronimo DPI) si intendono i prodotti che hanno la funzione di salvaguardare la persona che l'indossi o comunque li porti con sé, da rischi per la salute e la sicurezza. Tali dispositivi sono utilizzati in molteplici ambiti, tra cui in ambito lavorativo, domestico, sportivo e ricreativo.

Example sentence(s):
  • Si tratta di attrezzature utilizzate per tutelare la salute e la sicurezza dei lavoratori (guanti, occhiali, visiere, maschere facciali filtranti, scarpe, ecc.). I DPI per le vie respiratorie sono diversi in base allo scopo per cui devono essere impiegati. La protezione è garantita dalla capacità filtrante dei dispositivi in grado di trattenere le particelle aerodisperse, per lo più in funzione delle dimensioni, della forma e della densità, impedendone l'inalazione. - OGOI
