Personal Protective Equipment
1.
2. What is a hazard?
A hazard is an existing (or potential) hazardous or unsafe
condition or work practice that, by itself or in combination
with other conditions, could cause injury, illness, or
death to workers, as well as cause property damage.
Hazards may exist from
Processes,
procedures
Any series of actions or operations
manufacturing, equipment, product flow, etc.,
and handling) that convert raw material into a
product
Unsafe equipment,
machinery, or tools
For example damaged tools, unguarded
blades or unguarded moving parts, etc.
Unsafe work
practices
Allowing untrained workers to perform
Hazardous tasks, taking unsafe shortcuts,
being distracted, working long shifts, etc.
3. How do you control hazards?
Eliminate/reduce the hazard Engineering Controls
Reduce the hazard Work Practice Controls
Administrative Controls
Put barrier between worker
and hazard if needed
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
To control hazardous and unsafe conditions and work
practices, use the most effective control methods feasible at
your work place. Try to reduce employee exposure by
implementing effective controls that do not primarily rely on
individual employee behavior. Follow a system of strategies,
called the "Hierarchy of Controls," which prioritizes control
methods that try to remove or reduce the hazard:
Hierarchy of Controls (most to least effective)
4. Aim
If engineering or administrative
controls are not feasible or
economical, the last line of
defense in protecting workers is
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)”.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
Make sure that required Personal Protective Equipment as
per job specific will be given to workers and workers to
understand the purpose of wearing it.
As Project wide EHS Policy, that wearing of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) on site is for strict compliance
and must be followed.
5. PPE
Controlling hazards:
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
■ Elimination/substitution
■ Engineering controls - guards, interlocks, barriers
■ Administrative controls - procedure, stay times, worker
rotation
“If engineering or administrative controls are not feasible
or economical, the last line of defense in protecting
workers is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)”.
PPE does NOT eliminate the hazard! It only
protects workers in the event of an
exposure.

your supervisor.http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
Visitors on site standard apparel should be based on a hazard
assessment taking into account the areas of the site they will
be escorted.
9. For assessing foot, head, eye,
face, hand, and body hazard
situations, match protective
devices to the particular
hazard.

Protective
Equipment for Fall
Fall Protection
• Workers exposed to potential risk are required to wear
Fall protection equipment.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
44. Understand Your Fall Arrest System
A Personal Fall Arrest System is comprised of three (3) key components – anchorage
connector; body wear; and connecting device.
Remember: A, B, & C
A = Anchorage/Anchorage Connector
B = Body Wear
C = Connecting Device
45. A = Anchorage/Anchorage Connector
Anchorage: Commonly referred to as a tie-
off point (Ex: I-beam, rebar, scaffolding,
lifeline, etc.)
• Must be high enough for a worker to avoid contact
with a lower level should a fall occur.
• Anchorages must be capable of supporting 5,000
pounds (22kN) of force per worker.
• Careful consideration should be given to selecting a
proper anchorage for ultimate safety.
• The anchorage should be easily accessible.
46. The Importance of Anchorages
Carefully planned and selected anchorages are
crucial. Should a fall occur, the worker will be
suspended from the anchorage, their life depending
on its strength. An anchorage, for example, could be
an I-beam, while a cross-arm strap, or choker,
wrapped around this beam and permitting
attachment is the anchorage connector.
• Anchorage Connectors are designed as the intermediary
device for securing a connecting device to an anchorage.
• The anchorage connector should be positioned to avoid a
“swing fall.”
52. B = Body Wear
Body Wear: The personal protective equipment worn by the worker (Ex:
full-body harness)
• Only form of body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness.
• Should be selected based on work to be performed and the work environment.
• Side and front D-rings are for positioning only.
Incorrect Harness Fit
Chest strap positioned incorrectly. Should be located at mid-
chest to keep shoulder straps snug. Leg straps are too loose.
Premium Harness
55. C = Connecting Devices
While focus is given to anchorage connectors and body
wear (full-body harnesses) components, the
connecting device (a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-
retracting lifeline) between these two components
actually bears the greatest fall forces during a fall.
56. C = Connecting Devices
• Shock-Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting
Lifeline? Think About It! - Always know your fall
distance and select proper equipment to meet the
fall clearance.
• Remember... UNDER 18 1/2 ft. (5.6m)
- always use a Self-Retracting Lifeline.
OVER 18 1/2 ft. (5.6m)
- a Shock-Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting
Lifeline can be used.
57. Calculating Fall Clearance
Select the Proper Fall Protection Equipment
Shock-Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting Lifeline?
• Always know your fall distance and select proper equipment to meet the fall
clearance.
Illustration: 6 ft. (1.8m) Shock-Absorbing Lanyard with D-Bolt Anchorage Connector
58. Lanyards – the Critical Link in Fall Protection
The lanyard is a connecting device, a flexible
line to secure a full-body harness or body
belt, where permitted, to a point of
anchorage. There are two basic categories of
lanyards: non-shock-absorbing and shock-
absorbing. The more common and safer type
is the shock-absorbing lanyard.
• Shock-absorbing lanyards extend deceleration distance
during a fall, significantly reducing fall arresting forces
by 65 to 80 percent, below the threshold of injury (as
specified by OSHA & ANSI).
• One type of lanyard includes a special shock-absorbing
inner core material surrounded by a heavy-duty
tubular outer jacket that doubles as a back-up web
lanyard.
• In accordance with OSHA regulations, lanyards are
required to have self-closing, self-locking snap hooks
to reduce the possibility of unintentional
disengagement, or “rollout”.
60. Harness Pressure Points
Spread load
across butt strap
and belt strap if
on the harness
Excess pressure here can
cut blood flow to the legs
Some studies have indicated permanent damage to the lower extremities
when the worker hangs for more than twenty (20) minutes
62. Employer Responsibilities
Assessment
As part of the assessment, employers must also determine the
various health hazards that may be present in your work
area.
Health hazards include:
- Types of chemicals you could be exposed to;
- Sources of harmful dusts; and
- Sources of nuclear radiation.
Selection of PPE
Once your area has been assessed, your
employer must select, with your help, appropriate personal
protection equipment for you to use while performing your
job.
63. Employer Responsibilities
Providing PPE
Once your area has been assessed, your employer must
provide, at no cost to you, appropriate personal protection
equipment that fits, for you to use while performing your job.
NOTE: If you have your own personal protective equipment,
it must be approved by your employer before you can use it
on the job.
Check with your supervisor or safety
manager before using your
own equipment.
64. Training
Your employer must also provide you with training. Your
training must include:
* When PPE is necessary;
* What PPE is necessary;
* How to properly use your PPE;
* How to care for your PPE; and
* How to store your PPE.
Employer Responsibilities
65. Maintenance of PPE
In addition to providing you with PPE, your employer must
maintain the PPE used by employees. If a piece of PPE cannot
be repaired, it must be discarded and replaced
Employer Responsibilities
Recordkeeping
Finally, your employer must maintain records of the workplace
assessment and of your training.
66. Employee Responsibilities
Attend Training Sessions
You are responsible for attending all PPE training sessions.
Remember, the best PPE in the world is useless unless you
know how to use and care for it!
Assess Potential Hazards
Before you start any job, assess the real and potential
hazards associated with that job.
Follow ALL Warnings and Precautions
Take time to read any and all warnings and precautions that
may appear on tools, equipment, chemicals, MSDSs, and
personal protective equipment.
67. Employee Responsibilities
Listen and Follow Directions
Listen and follow the directions that you may be given by
your supervisor or safety manager. They want you to return
home today, and everyday, safe and sound to your family and
friends.
Report
Report any and ALL unsafe conditions you may find in your
work area to your supervisor or safety manager.
REMEMBER: Safety is a team effort!
68. The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Rule says you
must
• Do a Hazard Assessment for PPE and document it
• Select and provide appropriate PPE to your employees
• Provide training to your employees and document it
• Make sure your employees use their PPE properly
• Make sure PPE is in safe and good condition
- NOTE -
Defective equipment can be worse than no PPE at all.
