Insect Shield Repellent Work Wear: Protecting At-Risk Employees from Insect Borne-Diseases Field Studies Demonstrate Efficacy of Permethrin-Treated Clothes Against Insect Transmitted Diseases The Insect Shield protective work wear is designed for oil and gas, mining and forestry companies and their subcontractors in locations where insect-borne disease is endemic. Every day, millions of employees are exposed to insects that can carry malaria, dengue fever, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and other dangerous diseases. Insect Shield s long-lasting clothing treatment proven to last through 70 washings is a vital solution for employees living in harm s way. The commitment to health and safety programs such as this that adequately protect at-risk employees not only saves lives but also works to ensure project productivity and minimize liability. Misperceptions about Vector-Borne Disease Risks* Pest control is sufficient Medical can handle all aspects of malaria prevention Chances of dying from VB diseases are so low, that it is not a big concern Safety stand-down risks are too low Envrironmental risks are too low Productivity and financial impact of VB disease is minimal Vector-Borne Disease Risks CAN be mitigated through the use of personal protection equipment* ➊ Permethrin-Treated Clothing ➋ Repellents ➌ Bed Nets ➍ Chemoprophylaxis *courtesy of MosquitoZone Every day, millions of employees are exposed to insects that can carry dangerous diseases. These diseases carry profound health and economic impacts. Case Study: Tucurui Dam, Brazil $4.25 billion hydropower complex on Tocantins river in Para state Heavy influx of infective immigrant workers Widespread creation of standing water pools 10,00 malaria cases Suspension of environmental license Mosquito population explosion affected farming activities Construction delays (actual cost $7.5 billion) 77% cost overrun (interest during construction made up 26.3% of final cost Source: World Commission on Dams, Nov. 2000 Armed Forces Study: Columbia Study conducted with Armed forces in malaria and leishmaniasis endemic areas in Columbia 172 troops admitted to malaria study 286 troops admitted to leishmaniasis study 50% of participants received permethrin impregnated shirt, undershirt, pants and socks; the remaining 50% received untreated clothing. Result: malaria infection in the treatment group was 75.5% lower than in the control group Leishmaniasis infection was 78.4% lower in the treatment group than in the control group. Source: J.

Use of Insecticide-Treated Clothes for Personal Protection Against Malaria Case Study: Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Daily cost of construction = $2.8 million (30% for salaries) 63,000 worker days or 16 project days lost = $13.5 million Does not include: Increased health care expenditures ($100,00 for air-evacuation). Lost revenues for each day of delay (Courtesy of MosquitoZone) Pilot Study: University of North Carolina. Gillings School of Global Public Health Employees from the Wetlands and Permitting Unit of the (NCDWQ) were selected for a pilot study conducted by researchers at The University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health because of the high number of workrelated tick bites in previous years. One group of employees wore Insect Shield clothing while another group wore untreated clothes. Result: 99 percent fewer tick attachments during work hours and 93 percent fewer tick attachments during work hours and off-duty hours combined. The report was published online March 11 in the journal Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases. On this basis, UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State University were awarded a four-year grant from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to confirm the effectiveness of treated clothing in a rigorously controlled study. workwear_brochure_2011-rebuilt-a.indd 2-3 11/30/11 8:57 PM

E f f ec t i v e ne s s E f f ec t i v e ne s s KnoCKDoWN TESTING overview Knockdown testing is a widely accepted scientific laboratory methodology for determining the efficacy of insect repellent-treated textile products. Knockdown is a precise lab test that shows effectiveness through long-term washings. A repellent-treated textile sample is placed in an enclosed space containing insects for a brief period, after which the sample is removed and the insects reaction is documented. Many recognized agencies utilize KD testing for this purpose. These include: World Health Organization (WHO) U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) InSEc t shie ld average knockdown e ffec TIvenE S S on mosquitoe S 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Number of WashE S 25 50 70 T y pe S of mosquitoe S Aedes aegypti (yellow fever & dengue fever) Anopheles quadrimaculatis (malaria) Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus InSEc t shie ld average knockdown e ffec TIvenE S S on Ticks 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Number of WashE S 25 50 70 T y pe S of Ticks Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) Ixodes scapularis (Lyme Disease) INSECT SHIEld EFFECTIVENESS Insect Shield Apparel repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums).
