7. PROCEDURE

7.1. INTRODUCTION

PPE does not eliminate a hazard at source. If PPE fails and the failure is not detected, the risk increases greatly. PPE shall be appropriate if selected and its use and condition monitored. Workers required to use it shall be trained. See Appendix 1 for guideline on the correct use of PPE.




REVISION NO. 2

FIRST ISSUED DATE

26/06/2000

PPE provides effective protection only when it is properly managed and used. For a PPE scheme to be effective, three elements must be considered:

i. NATURE OF HAZARD: details are required before adequate selection can be made. ii. PERFORMANCE DATA FOR PPE: manufacturers information will be required concerning the ability of PPE to protect against a particular hazard.

iii. THE ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF EXPOSURE TO HAZARD: for some hazards the only acceptable exposure level is zero. An example is the protection of eyes against flying particles.

For handling of chemical hazardous to health, the approved personal protective equipment shall be used as stipulated in Use Standards of Exposure to Chemical Hazardous to Health Regulation, 2000 Under Regulation 16(1), Approved personal protective equipment shall be

used (a) where the application of control measures specified in regulation15(1) (a)

to (g) would be impracticable. (b) as an interim measure while other preferred control measures are being

designed and installed; or (c) where the measures taken to comply with regulation15(1) (a) to (g) do not

adequately control an employee's exposure to chemicals hazardous to health.

Under Regulation 16(2), where the approved personal protective equipment is used to control exposure to chemicals hazardous to health, MLNG shall establish and implement procedures on the issuance, maintenance, inspection and training in the use of the approved personal protective equipment.

Under Regulation 16(3), the approved personal protective equipment provided to employees shall - (a) be suitable to the type of work in which they are employed; (b) fit the employees; (c) not adversely affect the health or medical condition of the employees; and (d) be in sufficient supply and readily available to employees who require it.

7.2. PPE EVALUATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

Where the need of PPE has been established and no approved PPE brands have yet been identified, HSE Department will determine the specifications of the PPE identified.

PPE specifications are forwarded to SCM Department to initiate the tendering process, which will include PPE sample acquisition from the bidders.




REVISION NO. 2

FIRST ISSUED DATE

26/06/2000

HSE Department will carry out the Technical Evaluation of the PPE samples. PPE that pass the Technical Evaluation will then be subjected to field trial to test their fitness, durability and comfort. Trial period may vary between 1-3 months depending upon the type of PPE. HSE Department will be responsible in coordinating such trial. Result of such trial shall be endorsed by HSE. SCM Department then will carry out Commercial Evaluation of the technically qualified PPE. SCM Department will then inform HSE Department of the Make/Model of PPE selected, for onward advice to the Line. 7.3. WORKSITE PPE IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION

7.3.1. Risk Assessment for identify PPE

PPE selection shall be based on Risk Assessment findings and based on hazards present at workplace or hazards associated with individual work.

Respirators should be considered if the various control options do not provide the required level of control of inhalation hazards. The selection of a proper respirator for any given situation requires consideration of the following factors: 1. Nature of Hazard The type of hazard, physical and chemical properties, health effects, airborne

concentration, permissible exposure limit (PEL), immediately-dangerous-to life or health (IDLH) concentrations and warning properties.

2. Characteristics of Operation Type of operation or process, work area layout, materials used or procedure and

worker activities. 3. Location of Hazardous Area Distance to safe area and escape route. 4. Respirator Wearer Activity Respirator use time period (routine, non-routine, emergency, or rescue) 5. Respirator Characteristics, Capabilities, and Limitations 6. Respirator Protection Factor A respirator protection factor is a measure of the degree of protection the

respirator provides.

MLNG shall ensure relevant respirator fit-testing and training is conducted to RPE wearer. Each person required to wear a negative pressure air purifying respirator shall undergo qualitative fit testing. A proper face to facepiece seal shall be obtained prior to respirator assignment and use. The associated Assigned Protection Factor (APF) for the selected RPE must be determined to meet or exceeds the required level of employee protection. Typical APF for various types of respirators is shown in Table 8.1 below. Table 8.1: Assigned Protection Factors (US OSHA, 2009)

Proper respirator selection entails choosing a reliable device that protects the worker from the hazards to which he / she may be exposed, enabling the required tasks to be performed with the least amount of discomfort and fatigue. Figure 8.2 shows a flow diagram to use in the RPE selection process. Once it is determined that RPE is needed, following this flow diagram will assist in the determination of which type is needed for the task.

APPENDIX 9: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR HAND AND BODY PROTECTION CLOTHING

9.1 Hand Protection Gloves protect the hands against chemical, physical and biological hazards. No single glove suits every purpose. Conditions, processes and materials vary so much that every situation may require full analysis to determine the type of hand protection required In chemical handling, the permeability and chemical resistance of the gloves to the materials to be handled must be considered. The chemical supplier or glove manufacturer should provide advice on chemical resistance and permeation. Many factors affect the breakthrough times of glove materials including, but not limited to:

Thickness of glove material

Concentration of the chemical worked with

Amount of chemical the glove comes in contact with

Length of time which the glove is exposed to the chemical

Temperature at which the work is done

Possibility of abrasion or puncture.

Gloves selection charts can be obtained from manufacturers to determine the suitable types of gloves for the applications. 9.2 Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) CPC includes a wide range of apparel from aprons, overalls, jackets and trousers to fully encapsulating suits (gloves are covered in previous section). In achieving its aim of preventing chemical contact with skin, CPC requires careful selection from the wide variety of available materials and designs. Although health and safety literature often advises, "use impervious clothing," no readily available CPC material is truly impermeable to all chemicals. All common materials have limitations. Even protective clothing made from similar material but from different suppliers may have different permeation resistance. This could be caused by varying material quality, design or type of construction. Table 9.1 shows a characteristic of CPC materials. A chemical can affect a CPC material and / or gain access into a protective suit or through other types of protective clothing by three defined processes. 1. Degradation: The deterioration of one or more physical properties of the

material arising from surface contact by a chemical; eg a change in a material's tensile strength through surface contact of a chemical could be such an indicator




REVISION NO. 2

FIRST ISSUED DATE

2. Penetration: The non-molecular flow of a liquid or a gaseous chemical through closures, porous materials, seams, pinholes, cuts, abrasions or other imperfections in protective clothing material.

3. Permeation: The process by which a liquid or gaseous chemical moves through

a protective clothing material on a molecular level via:

I. adsorption of the chemical onto the surface of the material, II. diffusion into the material, and III. desorption of the chemical from the inner surface of the material.

Materials commonly used in the manufacturing of CPC and gloves are as follows:

Butyl Rubber

Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)

Natural Rubber

Neoprene

Nitrile Rubber / Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Polyethylene (PE)

Polyurethane (PU)

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

Viton

NOTE: Always verify with suppliers/manufacturers on the suitability of the materials prior to purchase of the CPC/gloves.
