General Instructions:
1. must specify the type of risk in the workplace first is then used to determine the required protective equipment. And it is provided such equipment without downloading any material cost to employees.
2. You must use approved personal protective equipment from the local authorities and be compatible with the US system.
3. Safety must wear personal protective equipment in a manner appropriate to the person with the user.
4. must undergo a medical examination for workers who need nature of their work using breathing apparatus, and is repeated this test annually.
5. must all employees who are required to use personal protective equipment to train the proper way to use this equipment and that by those directly responsible for them.
6. If you do not use personal protective equipment is placed in plastic bags and stored in a clean condition.
Personal protective equipment:
Missions and protect the head:
Helmet use solid treated with plastic to protect the head and resisting heavy shocks without being broken as well as resistant to penetration by falling objects. Helmet fitted inside the bond and plastic lining is tuned to fit the size of the head and the benefit of this lining it absorbs the shock of falling objects on the helmet from the outside where there is a safe distance between the lining and the body of the helmet. Before using the helmet must ensure safety and the absence of cracks or shocks them and ligaments, the lining is torn.
Risk on the head: the falling equipment or collision
Electricity types of helmets: risk
There are two types of helmets type I and type II
Type I
Type II
Each type of the above types is divided into three grades:
Class A: This type is designed for light work and provides limited protection against the risk of shocks and protect the limited power supply (2200-volt only) one minute
Class B: This type is designed for heavy-duty and provides great protection against the risk of shocks, as well as great protection for the power supply (20,000 volts for 3 minutes).
Class A: to protect the eyes and face from the chemical and mechanical hazards must wear protective glasses or protective glass glasses or facial protector.
Missions and protect eyes and face:
It is a business examples that require the use of protective equipment for eyes and face:
1. work grinding / cutting
2. circulation of chemical substances
3. operations furnaces
1. actions that give rise to dust choose the means appropriate eye protection: Business Risk means proposed for protection according to Table 1 acts as cutting, welding acetylene Hrz, rays harmful, solid parts of the volatile, molten metal No. 7, 8.9 chemicals handling volatilization of chemicals, harmful fumes, incendiary materials No. 2.10 (10 and can be used with two in cases of exposure to hazardous) welding electrode Hrz, very dangerous rays, molten metal 9.11 acts furnaces dazzling light, high temperature, molten metal can be 7,8,9 add 10 cases in high-risk exposure acts Alkhalkh volatile solids 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7a, 8a, 10 acts of laboratory chemicals blowing, blowing broken glass 2 (10 with 4.5, 6)
Aluminum and provides good protection against shocks, but does not provide any protection against electric current.
Missions and protect the ear:
Should all employees who work in the high places of noise and increase the intensity of 85 dB wear ear protection equipment so as not to be subjected to the loss of the sense of hearing they have progressively with the length of the exposure period for the noise so that they can reach to the point of losing their hearing where the final. The Occupational Safety and Health Department official measurement of the degree of noise in the workplace and in light of the measurement results is choosing the right stomach to prevent ear. Missions prevention own ear Reduces Noise degrees in the workplace to less than the limit of exposure has a limit, and writes on all of them intended reduction in the value of the intensity of the noise that can reduce them.
1. ear caps:
Covering the outer ear and be a barrier to sound and provides protection for the ear of the high risk of exposure to noise where the noise by reducing the intensity in the range of 15-35 dB, and is used when the intensity of the noise in the workplace from 90 to 120 decibels.
2. Earplugs:
Placed inside the ear canal and are made of plastic or rubber and can reduce noise by up to ear in the range of 20-30 dB and used in places where the intensity of the noise from 85-115 decibels.
In some places where the noise intensity is very high may reach 130 decibels are wearing ear plugs with ear coverings where noise is reduced in this case up to 50 dB.
OSHA standards require that the number 7 launch of the noise reduction coefficient for each stomach in order to more security
Missions foot protection:
Most injuries suffered by workers in industrial places are foot injuries, so it should continue to wear safety shoes to protect the foot. Types of Safety Shoes: Leather Shoes safety are foremost covered with steel to protect the fingers of the danger of falling objects as well as there is a piece of steel between the soles to protect against the risk of penetration by sharp materials such as nails, these types also prevent skidding in the workplace. Long rubber safety work places rain water shoes always used as well as firefighters. Safety rubber boots intended for those working in the field of electricity, providing them significant protection against electrocution. Safety rubber shoes do not cause electrostatics occurrence and are used in places located by flammable materials so as not to cause static electrical charges in a fire in these materials.
Tasks and respiratory protection
Use different breathing apparatus to enable the person who has worn to work in
Basic PPE definition depends on the line of work you are involved. Most commonly composed of helmet, gloves, safety shoes/boots in safety related field but in medical, latex gloves, mask, coverall. In construction it is composed head & extremities protection, eye protection, and hearing protection. Advance PPE is very broad. Usually it is about PPE that requires training, in donning & doffing, fit testing, and wearer must be certified to use it. Advance caring for advance PPE is in international standard like NFPA, OSHA, OSH. Commonly it is SCBA, SABA, HazMat Suit, and Confined Space equipment.
Basic: Hard toe boots ankle height, cargo pants supported by belt, long sleeve shirt, hi visibility jacket or vest, hard hat, gloves
Advance: all above plus task-related eg goggles, ear protection, dust mask, knee pads, high toughness grade gloves
Basic PPE (Personnel Protective Equipment) for a typical Construction Site would be - Wearing of Helmet, Safety Shoes & Coverall at any given time as long as you are at the site. Advance PPE for a typical Construction site would be:- Installation of Scaffolding by trained personnel to work at heights, use of Blankets for working in Risers, use of certified machinery like hoists, Ladders, machine tools, cranes by which are certified by local Authority of the area & checked by Certified Safety Officers at site. Also, permissions to be taken prior to start of job for such high risk areas.
