General purpose coveralls provide full-body protection from dirt, dust, grime, contaminants, and minor abrasions in a variety of hazardous industries and environments. Unlike specialized coveralls that offer protection against specific hazards such as chemicals, biological agents, or extreme temperatures, general-purpose coveralls are intended for use in relatively low-risk settings.

General purpose coveralls are available in single-use, limited-use, or reusable styles and are typically made from durable yet breathable materials. The choice of material and design depends on the specific hazards present in the work environment.

Key features include a front zipper or snap closure for easy donning and doffing, elasticized or open cuffs and ankles, and attached hood or boots. General purpose coveralls are offered in small through 7X-large sizes, depending on the style. When selecting a size, keep in mind that coveralls fit over other clothing.

While general purpose coveralls offer basic protection, it is important to conduct a hazard assessment to determine if additional personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for specific tasks or environments. For higher-risk settings, specialized coveralls with enhanced protective features may be necessary. Regulatory compliance details can be obtained at the individual product level.
