PPE specific to type and characteriaties of chemical release
PPE. Assessment
In order to be able to choose the proper PPE, the indevidual matt be amare of what
hazards exist in the workplace. This involves obtaining information om the types of
hazards present, the tonicity of the materials imvolved, and what other options ace
available to contiol expenure, General information about chemicals ray be found
in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) The chrome and acute effect of chenncals,
biological and radiological materials should also be asserted The net step oanld te wo

procedures
Head Protection
Head injuries are commonly caused by impact from falling oF fying obgects, ad faliong
‘or walking into hard objects PPE. devices such as hard hats may protect yor (torn ohyents
falling on yout bead and, in a limited way, from electrical shock or burns. Hacd hate
shavuld be worn in aceas where there is potential for head injuriesye and Face Protection
ye protection must be worn where there is potential for injury to the eyes oF face from
small particles, toxic chemicals, ying objects or particles, large objects, thermal or
radiation hazards, and lasers. According to the types of and extent of hazards, different
PPE should be worn. PPE for the face and eyes includes devices such as safety glasses,
goggles, and face shields. These must always remain clean and free of contaminants
Safety glasses or goggles must always be worn in laboratory areas,
Temporary or parttime employees and visitors should be provided temporary safety
glasses that can be placed over their personal prescription glasses.
Body Protection
Protective clothing, such as lab coats, should be wom when handling hazardous
‘materials. This will prevent the contamination of skin and clothing
Hand Protection
Selecting the proper gloves is very important since itis our hands that are often used to
handle hazardous materials. These materials usually consist of caustic or toxic chemicals,
biological substances, electrical sources, or extremely cold or hot objects that may irritate
or bum your hands. In addition, traumatic injuries such as cuts, sprains and punctures
may also occur. With the wide range of hazards, there also exists a wide range of gloves
that may be used as PPE, It is important to know that not all gloves are protective against
all chemicals.
Foot Protection
Injuries that may occur when the proper footwear is not worn are chemical and heat burns
from spills and splashes of acids and caustics, compression injuries, electrical shocks, and
slipping. Wearing the proper footwear is therefore, very important when working in areas
where physical and chemical hazards are present. Close-toed, heeled shoes must always.
bbe wom in laboratory areas where chemicals are present.
Hearing Protection
Exposure to high levels of noise may result in hearing loss. PPE should be worn when the
noise level is 85 decibels or greater averaged over an 8-hour period of time. Popular types.
of hearing protection devices include earmuffs and foam earplugs.
Respiratory Protection
Respirators are used to prevent the exposure to air contaminated with harmful dusts, foes,
fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors. All respirator usage, which includes
disposable respirators, air purifying respirators, and air supplied respirators, require
annual fit testing and training prior to use.
Step by step process to contain and confine the spills
‘SPEED COUNTS! Limit the spill area by blocking, diverting or confining the spill. Use
‘contained absorbents such as socks and booms as found in our spill kits. STOP the flow
Of the liquid before it has a chance to contaminate a water source. Spill kts are designed
to facilitate a quick, effective response.
‘fier the spill is confined, stop the source of the spill, ‘This may simply involve turning a
container upright or plugging a leak from a damaged drum or container. Products like theRepair Putty as well as barrel patches and cone plugs are effective at stopping leaks.
‘Transfer liquids from the damaged container to a new one.
ix, Response equipment
Clean up Materials and Tools
1, Spill pads, absorbent materials (warehouse, trucks).
2. Shovels.
3. Sand, dirt etc.
4 Personnel.
5. Pails, tarpaulins, barrels,
6. Safety gloves and goggles
x. Decontamination process
Once the spill is confined and the leak has been stopped, it is time to re-assess the
incident and develop a plan of action for implementing the spill clean-up. Pillows and
mat pads are commonly used to absorb the remainder of the spill. Simply place the
pillows and pads throughout the spill area. Unused absorbents are not hazardous,
However, once the absorbents are saturated with oils, solvents etc. they may be
considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.
Decontaminate the site, personnel and equipment by removing or neutralizing the
hazardous materials that have accumulated during the spill This may involve removing,
and disposing of contaminated media such as soil that was exposed during the spill
incident. An effective decontamination area ensures the health and safety of emergency
responders.
Waste Handling
1. Ifunsure of waste disposal requirements, ask
2. Remove waste material from spill site only with consent of supervisor.
3. Documentation is required for removal of waste by the Person-in-Charge of the
spill (oil, fuel or chemicals are not domestic waste)
4, If using barrels for storage of waste ensure barrels are empty and bungs are in,
5. Clearly mark the barrel or container of what residue or waste is inside.
6 Once spilled material is cleaned up they will be disposed of at an approved waste
facility
