  1. Nueva norma busca fortalecer la protección de trabajadores

    La actualización de la NOM-017-STPS-2024 establece nuevas obligaciones para empleadores, fabricantes e importadores de equipos de protección personal.

    Por Deyanira Vázquez | Reportera                                        

    Cada día, cerca de mil trabajadores en México sufren un accidente laboral. Sin embargo, la cifra documentada por el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) es aún mayor: su Memoria Estadística 2024 reporta un promedio anual de 527 mil 802 riesgos de trabajo, equivalentes a aproximadamente mil 446 accidentes laborales diarios.

    Los accidentes de trabajo generaron pérdidas superiores a 76 mil millones de pesos durante 2025, con un costo promedio de 21 mil 500 pesos por trabajador lesionado. A ello se suma un impacto indirecto superior a 35 mil millones de pesos por pérdida de productividad.

    Hasta el tercer trimestre de 2025 se contabilizaron 796 fallecimientos derivados de accidentes laborales, cifra que representó un incremento de 10 por ciento respecto al año anterior.

    De acuerdo con el IMSS, los accidentes laborales aumentaron 15 por ciento durante el último año, mientras que la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) estima que estos incidentes pueden representar pérdidas equivalentes hasta al 4 por ciento del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB).

    La NOM-017-STPS-2024 sustituye una regulación vigente por 16 años

    Como respuesta a este panorama, el 28 de marzo de 2025 se publicó en el Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) la nueva Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-017-STPS-2024, denominada Equipo de protección personal – Selección, uso y manejo en los centros de trabajo.

    La regulación entró en vigor el 28 de septiembre de 2025, sustituyendo a la NOM-017-STPS-2008, que permaneció vigente durante 16 años.

    Entre las principales modificaciones destacan:

    • La incorporación de cuatro niveles de protección para los equipos de protección personal (EPP).
    • La obligación de realizar un análisis integral de riesgos físicos, químicos, biológicos, ergonómicos y psicosociales para determinar el equipo requerido en cada puesto.
    • La exigencia de que el EPP cuente con certificaciones o estándares técnicos emitidos por laboratorios autorizados; cuando no exista una norma específica, deberán presentarse pruebas independientes que respalden la información del fabricante.
    • La ampliación de la protección a visitantes, proveedores y prestadores de servicios que ingresen a áreas de riesgo.
    • La implementación de registros detallados sobre entrega, mantenimiento, limpieza, reposición y disposición final del equipo.

    El incumplimiento de estas obligaciones puede derivar en sanciones de hasta 542 mil 350 pesos.

    La certificación técnica gana relevancia

    La actualización normativa refleja una tendencia internacional orientada a garantizar que los equipos de protección personal demuestren su eficacia mediante pruebas técnicas verificables, especialmente en actividades donde convergen riesgos químicos, biológicos y de partículas.

    En este escenario, empresas que ya operan bajo procesos de certificación y evaluación de laboratorio cuentan con una posición favorable.

    Entre ellas se encuentra DuPont, que realiza pruebas técnicas para validar el desempeño de sus líneas de protección ProShield®, Tyvek® y Tychem®, utilizadas en sectores industriales, laboratorios y operaciones con exposición a sustancias químicas. –sn–

  2. On a recent trip I took two groundsheets to try out - a Polycro and a Tyvek.

    Polycro is lighter, but that is where its advantage ends. It is not as durable as Tyvek and it seems to attract moisture and dust a lot more.

    The UL fanatics can keep ranting about Polycro, but I would rather use two Tyvek groundsheets in future.

  4. Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.

    The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

  9. Sleep time in the Fish River Canyon will be simple again: two groundsheets and no tent. This time around I opted for a tyvek sheet and a polycro sheet. I found the ground sheets that I used the previous time were too narrow.

    The plan is to sleep on the more sturdy tyvek sheet and unpack my gear on the polycro sheet. In the unlikely scenario of rain at night, I'll simply sleep underneath the polycro sheet as it is wider that the tyvek sheet.

    I have modified the tyvek sheet with some metal grommets. I'll put some lightweight cord in there in case I want to peg it down. Not sure about doing the same to the polycro sheet - thst material is a bit flimsy.
