How does B.PROTEC differ from other beekeeping or pest control coveralls?
When it comes to working with bees, wasps, or hornets, safety is the top priority. Before tackling various jobs, many emergency response team operators, such as firefighters or civil protection personnel, ask themselves:
“How does the B.PROTEC suit differ from other beekeeping or pest control suits?”
The answer is simple: with special protection! Coval Safety meets this need with the B.PROTEC coverall, professional PPE designed for emergency response teams, with features that guarantee total protection, comfort, and ease of use.
Our goal has always been to keep those who work in difficult conditions safe by providing high-end protective equipment designed to address specific risks.
Among the most exposed categories are response teams who work in contact with swarms or nests of dangerous insects, such as bees, wasps, and hornets. Their stings can be very painful and, in severe cases, even lethal.
Design studied down to the smallest detail
Unlike standard beekeeping suits, B.PROTEC is designed with the needs of professional beekeepers in mind. It is a yellow full-body coverall made of double-layer anti-sting fabric, laboratory tested for puncture resistance.
Its main features include:
- Front zip for quick dressing and complete coverage of the chest and head.
- Elasticated and Velcro cuffs and ankles to prevent insects from entering, ensuring quick opening.
- Built-in hood with steel mesh visor and helmet compliant with EN 397, providing 360° protection without limiting visibility.
- PVC gloves included, resistant to mechanical, chemical, and oil hazards.
- Yellow anti-sting fabric, useful for easily detecting the presence of insects and reducing the risk of stings.
All these details make the coverall lightweight, flexible and comfortable to wear, even during prolonged operations, thanks to the wide field of vision and excellent fit.
Accessory PPE items, such as gloves and visor, can also be requested as spare parts.
Tested and certified protection
This special diving suit for protection against bee and wasp stings is the ideal garment to wear during remediation operations, removal of insect nests, or dangerous pest control.
It is also ideal for firefighters and emergency response teams trained to work in contact with swarms or hornet nests.
When to wear B.PROTEC
The B.PROTEC encapsulating suit is the ideal garment for:
-
removing bee, wasp or hornet nests
-
remediation and pest control operations with sting risk
-
professional interventions carried out by firefighters, civil protection units and intervention teams
It is not designed for firefighting nor for chemical protection operations, so it is essential to use it in the appropriate context.
How to properly store the PPE
To ensure maximum efficiency and durability of your PPE, it is important not only to wear it correctly, but also to store it properly. Small precautions can make a big difference in safety during every intervention.
For example, keeping the suit in a dry place and gently brushing it off ensures proper maintenance of the PPE. Gloves and visor can be requested as spare parts, to guarantee complete protection at all times.
