Study Notes
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Verification
- Employees should verify PPE program functionality through regular training and assessments.
- Safety audits and feedback mechanisms enhance the effectiveness of PPE use.
Work Activity Analysis
- Study work activities to assess required dexterity, including duration, frequency, and physical stress levels involved.
- Understanding the physical stress factors ensures proper equipment selection.
Helmet Classifications
- Class C helmets are made of aluminum and conduct electricity; unsuitable near electrical hazards.
- Class A helmets provide protection against impact, penetration, and low-voltage electrical hazards.
- Class E helmets offer high-voltage electrical protection and are tested to withstand 20,000 volts.
Hazard Assessment
- Employers are mandated to conduct hazard assessments to determine the need for PPE.
- This process involves identifying potential workplace hazards and assessing risks.
Chemical Protection
- No single clothing material offers complete protection against all chemicals.
- When dealing with chemical mixtures, glove selection should be based on permeability rates and breakthrough times.
Glove Removal Protocol
- Employees must remove gloves carefully to prevent skin contamination and exposure to hazardous substances.
Heat Stroke Symptoms
- Key symptoms of heat stroke include very small pupils, confusion, unconsciousness, and elevated body temperature.
