Introduction Occupational Health & Safety

Administration established 29 CFR 1910.132-138 the Personal Protective Equipment Standard

Briefly stated, this standard requires that employers must provide at no cost to their employees PPE when such equipment is necessary to protect employees from job related injuries, illnesses and fatalities

Page 4: Industrial Hygiene

Payment for PPE

When PPE is required to protect employees, it must be provided by the employer at no cost to employees, except for specific items, such as:Safety-toe footwearPrescription safety eyewearEveryday clothing and weather-related gearLogging boots

Page 5: Industrial Hygiene

Protecting Employees from Workplace Hazards

Employers must protect employees from workplace hazards and dangerous work procedures that can cause injury, illness and fatalities.

Employers must:Use all feasible engineering and work practice

controls to eliminate and reduce hazardsThen use appropriate PPE if these controls do

not eliminate hazardsRemember: PPE is the last control

Page 6: Industrial Hygiene

General ProvisionsEvery employer :

1.Shall at his own expense furnish his workers with protective equipment for the eyes, face, hands andfeet, protective shields and barriers whenever necessary by reason of the hazardous nature of theprocess or environment, chemical or radiological or other mechanical irritants or hazards capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact.

2.Deduction for the loss or damage of personal protective equipment shall be governed by Article114, Book III, Labor Code of the Philippines, and Section 14, Rule VIII, Book III, Omnibus RulesImplementing the Labor Code.

Page 7: Industrial Hygiene

All personal protective equipment shall be of the approved design and construction appropriatefor the exposure and the work to be performed.

The employer shall be responsible for the adequacy and proper maintenance of personalprotective equipment used in his workplace.

No person shall be subjected or exposed to a hazardous environmental condition withoutprotection

Employer Responsibilities Assessment

Employers are required to conduct an assessment to determine the various physical hazards that may be present in your work area

Physical hazards include: Sources of motion Sources of high and low temperatures Sources of light radiation 

○ welding ○ brazing ○ heat treating  ○ high intensity lights

Sources of falling objects Sources of sharp objects Sources of rolling or pinching objects Sources of electric hazards Sources of slip, trips, and falls Sources of harmful dusts

Page 9: Industrial Hygiene

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 hazards Sources of biological hazards Sources of nuclear radiation

Page 10: Industrial Hygiene

Employer Responsibilities

Selection and Provision 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

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

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.

Your employer must maintain records of the workplace assessment and of your training

Page 56: Industrial Hygiene

Head ProtectionProper use and care of hard hat Always wear your hard hat while you are working in

areas where there are potential head hazards Adjust the suspension inside your hard hat so that the

hat sits comfortably, but securely on your head Inspect the shell of your hard hat for cracks, gouges,

and dents. Inspect the suspension system for frayed or broken straps. If your hard hat needs to be repaired, have it repaired   immediately or ask your employer for a new one

Place plastic (non-metal) reflective tape on hat if working at night

Never paint, scratch or drill "air holes" in your hard hat Never carry personal belongings such as cigarettes,

lighters, or pens in your hard hat

Page 57: Industrial Hygiene

Head Protection

Care and Maintenance of Hard Hat

Clean your hard hat at least once a month by soaking it in a solution of mild soap and hot water for 5-10 minutes

Because sunlight and heat can damage the suspension of your hat, always store your hat in a clean, dry, and cool location
