These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Performing a "hazard assessment" of the workplace to identify and control physical and health hazards. Identifying and providing appropriate PPE for employees. Training employees in the use and care of the PPE. Maintaining PPE, including replacing worn or damaged PPE. Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating the effectiveness of the PPE program
Properly wear PPE, Attend training sessions on PPE, Care for, clean and maintain PPE, and Inform a supervisor of the need to repair or replace PPE
Many occupational eye injuries occur because workers are not wearing any eye protection while others result from wearing improper or poorly fitting eye protection.
Hazards: Dust ,dirt ,metal ,wood chips, chemical splashes ,object swinging ,or radiant energy
Note: Make sure the eye protection has the right combination of impact/dust/splash/molten metal eye protection for the task and fits the user properly.
Ability to protect against specific workplace hazards. Should fit properly and be reasonably comfortable to wear. Should provide unrestricted vision and movement. Should be durable and cleanable. Should allow unrestricted functioning of any other required PPE.
SPRAYS SMOKE DUST MISTS FOGS Inhalation of hazardous material damages delicate structures of the lung.
Damage lungs are more susceptible to respiratory disease.
Most direct route to the bloodstream.
LUNG DAMAGE
Where respirators are required you need: Written program Worksite-specific procedures Required elements: Training Fit testing Medical evaluations Care and maintenance Procedures for respirator selection Procedures for routine & emergency use
Air Purifying Respiratory Protection Mechanical filter respiratory protection devices are commonly known as dust masks. These simple filters commonly consist of a molded filter designed to cover the nose and mouth. Chemical Cartridge Respirators
Chemical cartridge respirators provide a higher level of protection than dust masks. A soft rubber-like face piece (silicone) covers the nose and mouth and contains valves to control air movement through the device. Hazards: Impact from falling or flying objects, risk of head bumping, hair entanglement. Options: A range of helmets, hard hats and bump caps. Note: Some safety helmets incorporate or can be fitted with specially-designed eye or hearing protection. Dont forget neck protection, eg scarves for use during welding. Do not use head protection if it is damaged replace it. GENERAL REQUIREMENT Hazards: Wet, electrostatic build-up, slipping, cuts and punctures, falling objects, metal and chemical splash, abrasion. Options: Safety boots and shoes with protective toe caps and penetration- resistant mid-sole, gaiters, leggings, spats. Note: Footwear can have a variety of sole patterns and materials to help prevent slips in different conditions, including oil or chemical-resistant soles. It can also be anti- static, electrically conductive or thermally insulating. It GENERAL REQUIREMENT Hazards: abrasion, temperature extremes, cuts and punctures, impact, chemicals, electric shock, skin infection, disease or contamination. Options: Gloves, gauntlets, mitts, wrist-cuffs, armlets. Note: Avoid gloves when operating machines such as bench drills where the gloves could get caught. Some materials are quickly penetrated by chemicals so be careful when you are selecting them. Determining the need to provide hearing protection for employees can be challenging. Employee exposure to excessive noise depends upon a number of factors, including The duration of each employee's exposure to the noise. Whether employees move between work areas with different noise levels. Whether noise is generated from one or multiple sources.
Hazards: Temperature extremes, adverse weather, chemical or metal splash, spray from pressure leaks or spray guns, impact or penetration, contaminated dust, excessive wear or entanglement of own clothing. Options: Conventional or disposable overalls, boiler suits, specialist protective clothing, eg chain-mail aprons, high-visibility clothing. Note: The choice of materials includes flame- retardant, anti-static, chain mail, chemically impermeable, and high-visibility. Dont forget other protection, like safety harnesses or life jackets. BODY PROTECTION SUMMARY Equipment is well looked after and properly stored when it is not being used Equipment is kept clean and in good repair Make sure anyone using PPE is aware of why it is needed, when to use, repair or replace it, how to report it if there is a fault and its limitations.
