Study Notes
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Overview
- Individual states can enforce their own standards for PPE, which may differ from federal regulations.
- PPE does not eliminate hazards; it serves as a barrier but cannot completely remove risks.
- Engineering controls are preferred over PPE as a method of hazard control.
PPE Equipment Acceptance
- All aspects of PPE, including effectiveness and proper maintenance, are critical for its use.
- Damaged PPE should not be used; it must be tagged, repaired, or discarded immediately.
Head Protection Standards
- Head protection must meet ANSI specifications and should be resistant to penetration and able to absorb shock.
- A significant number of workers with head injuries were not wearing head protection during incidents.
- Proper inspection for damage is necessary; damaged hard hats should be reported and replaced.
Types of Hard Hats
- Class E hard hats provide protection from high voltage.
- Understanding the class of hard hats is crucial for ensuring adequate safety against electrical hazards.
Eye and Face Protection
- The four primary classes of eye and face protection are safety spectacles, goggles, face shields, and welding shields—bump glass is not included.
- Protection from flying particles, chemicals, and injurious light rays is essential for preventing eye injuries.
- Eye and face protection must be marked with ANSI 87.1 to indicate compliance with safety regulations.
Emergency Eyewash and Shower Stations
- Emergency eyewash stations should be located on the same level as the hazards, in well-lit and clearly marked areas, and within 10 seconds of the hazard.
- OSHA mandates facilities provide emergency flushing for workers exposed to corrosive materials, requiring appropriate emergency stations.
- Flushing exposed body parts should occur for at least 15 minutes, using water in the tepid range of 60-100°F.
Specific PPE for Work Conditions
- Special protective gear, such as foundry boots, is required for areas with sparks and molten metals, emphasizing the need for appropriate materials and design in safety footwear.
