HazMatch® is an easy-to-use protective apparel selection tool from Kappler that allows a user to choose an appropriate safety garment based on a specific chemical hazard or a biohazard. HazMatch also allows a user to save search results to satisfy OSHA hazard assessment requirements. HazMatch is ideal for emergency responders, industrial hygienists, safety managers or other professionals dealing with hazardous materials. The app contains a database of tested chemicals, searchable by chemical name or CAS number.

Each garment recommendation includes detailed product information. All of the chemical data in HazMatch is based on third-party testing, with the database updated regularly. In addition to the app, the HazMatch tool is also available as an online tool at kappler.com.
