   Introduction

   • Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employers protect their employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury.
   • Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect employees. Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use of engineering or work practice controls to manage or eliminate hazards to the greatest extent possible. …

   In general, employees should:

   • 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. Specific requirements for PPE are presented in many different
   • OSHA standards, published in 29 CFR. Some standards require that employers provide PPE at no cost to the employee while others simply state that the employer must provide PPE. Appendix A at page 40 lists those standards that require the employer to provide PPE and those that require the employer to provide PPE at no cost to the employee.

   • In addition to noting the basic layout of the facility and reviewing any history of occupational illnesses or injuries, things to look for during the walkthrough survey include:
   • Sources of electricity.
   • Sources of motion such as machines or processes where movement may exist that could result in an impact between personnel and equipment.
   • Sources of high temperatures that could result in burns, eye injuries or fire.
   • Types of chemicals used in the workplace.
   • Sources of harmful dusts.

   • The employer should become aware of the different types of PPE available and the levels of protection offered. It is definitely a good idea to select PPE that will provide a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect employees from hazards.
   • Then periodically reassess the workplace for any changes in conditions, equipment or operating procedures that could create occupational hazards. This periodic reassessment should also include a review of injury and illness records to spot any trends or areas of concern and taking appropriate corrective action. …

    • OSHA requires that many categories of PPE meet or be equivalent to standards approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI has been preparing safety standards since the 1920s, when the first safety standard was approved to protect the heads and eyes of industrial workers. Employers who need to provide PPE in the categories listed below must make certain that any new equipment procured meets the cited ANSI standard. Existing PPE stocks must meet the ANSI standard in effect at the time of its manufacture or provide protection equivalent to PPE manufactured to the ANSI criteria. …

    Training Employees in the Proper Use of PPE

    • Employers are required to train each employee who must use PPE. Employees must be trained to know at least the following:
    • When PPE is necessary.
    • What PPE is necessary.
    • How to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear the PPE.
    • The limitations of the PPE.
    • Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of PPE.
    • Employers shall make sure that each employee demonstrates an understanding of the PPE training (i.e., in a language they understand) as well as the ability to properly wear and use PPE before they are allowed to perform work requiring the use of the PPE. …
    • …

    Prescription Lenses

    • Use of ordinary prescription corrective lenses will not provide adequate protection against most occupational eye and face hazards, so employers must make sure that employees with corrective lenses either wear eye protection that incorporates the prescription into the design of adequate eye protection or wear eye protection that fits over their prescription lenses. It is important to ensure that the protective eyewear fits properly, and does not disturb the proper positioning of the prescription lenses so that the employee’s vision will not be inhibited or limited. …

    Types of Eye Protection

    • Selecting suitable eye and face protection for employees should take into consideration the following elements:
    • 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.
    • The eye and face protection selected for employee use must clearly identify the manufacturer. Any new eye and face protective devices must comply with any of the following; ANSI Z87.1-2010, ANSI Z87.1-2003, or ANSI Z87.1-1989(R1998) or be at least as…

    • Laser safety goggles. These specialty goggles protect against intense concentrations of light produced by lasers. The type of laser safety goggles an employer chooses will depend upon the equipment and operating conditions in the workplace.
    • Face shields. These transparent sheets of plastic extend from the eyebrows to below the chin and across the entire width of the employee’s head. Some are polarized for glare protection. Face shields protect against potential splashes or sprays of hazardous liquids, droplets, and particles but will not provide adequate protection against impact hazards. …

    Head Protection

    • Protecting employees from potential head injuries is a key element of any safety program. A head injury can impair an employee for life or it can be fatal. Wearing a safety helmet or hard hat is one of the easiest ways to protect an employee’s head from injury. Hard hats can protect employees from impact and penetration hazards as well as from electrical shock and burn hazards.
    • Employers must ensure that their employees wear head protection if any of the following apply:
    • Objects might fall from above and strike them on the head;
    • They might bump their heads against fixed objects, such as exposed pipes or beams; or
    • …
19. Page 19

    Types of Hard Hats

    • Protective headgear must comply with any of the following consensus standards ANSI Z89.1-2009, ANSI Z89.1-2003, or ANSI Z89.1-1997 or provide an equivalent level of protection.
    • There are many types of hard hats available in the marketplace today. In addition to selecting protective headgear that meets ANSI standard requirements, employers should ensure that employees wear hard hats that provide appropriate protection against potential workplace hazards. It is important for employers to understand all potential hazards when making this selection, including electrical hazards. …
    • …

    Size and Care Considerations

    • Head protection that is either too large or too small is inappropriate for use, even if it meets all other requirements. Protective headgear must fit appropriately on the body and for the head size of each individual. Most protective headgear comes in a variety of sizes with adjustable headbands to ensure a proper fit (many adjust in 1/8-inch increments). A proper fit should allow sufficient clearance between the shell and the suspension system for ventilation and distribution of an impact. The hat should not bind, slip, fall off or irritate the skin.
    • …
21. Page 21

    Foot and Leg Protection

    • Always replace a hard hat if it sustains an impact, even if damage is not noticeable. Suspension systems are offered as replacement parts and should be replaced when damaged or when excessive wear is noticed. It is not necessary to replace the entire hard hat when deterioration or tears of the suspension systems are noticed.
    • Employees who face possible foot or leg injuries from falling or rolling objects or from crushing or penetrating materials should wear protective footwear. Also, employees whose work involves exposure to hot substances or corrosive or poisonous materials must have protective gear to cover exposed body…

    Fabric and Coated Fabric Gloves

    • Fabric and coated fabric gloves are made of cotton or other fabric to provide varying degrees of protection.
    • Fabric gloves protect against dirt, slivers, chafing and abrasions. They do not provide sufficient protection for use with rough, sharp or heavy materials. Adding a plastic coating will strengthen some fabric gloves.
    • Coated fabric gloves are normally made from cotton flannel with napping on one side. By coating the unnapped side with plastic, fabric gloves are transformed into general-purpose hand protection offering slip-resistant qualities. …

    • Natural (latex) rubber gloves are comfortable to wear, which makes them a popular general-purpose glove.
    • They feature outstanding tensile strength, elasticity, and temperature resistance. In addition to resisting abrasions caused by grinding and polishing, these gloves protect employees’ hands from most water solutions of acids, alkalis, salts, and ketones. Latex gloves have caused allergic reactions in some individuals and may not be appropriate for all employees. …
