- Long pants that are free of holes and excessive wear.
- Disposable Tyvek pants or rain gear over your pants may be required.
- Tuck your pants inside the boots.
- Tape your pants at the top of the rubber boot with impermeable tape.
- Ensure boots are high enough to keep concrete away from your skin.
- Wear a long-sleeved shirt.
- Impervious gloves taped at the cuff.
- Inspect your boots and gloves to ensure there are no holes or damage.
- Never use damaged personal protective equipment.
- Hoseman, nozzleman, and vibrator operators must wear a face shield in

prevent a concrete burn.
