Topic: PPE-Personal Protective Equipment

What is PPE?

PPE – these are considered as the last line of

defense. These devices provide limited protection to
the ones using them.
Program to introduce PPE
Once it is decided that personal protective
equipment is going to be used, then the
following steps need to be undertaken:

1. write a policy on the usage of PPE and

communicate it to employees and visitors as needed
2. select the proper type of equipment
3. implement a thorough training program
4. ensure that employees knows the correct use and
maintenance of the equipment
5. enforce proper use and maintenance of PPE

Policy The policy should state the need for the use of PPE. It may also contain exceptions or
limitations on the use of PPE.

Selection of Proper Equipment

✓ After the need for personal protective equipment has been established, the next step is to select
the proper type.
✓ In selecting the proper protector, consideration should be given to the kind and degree of hazard.
Where a choice of protectors is given and the degree of protection required is not an important
issue, worker’s comfort may be a deciding factor.

 ✓ The first step in selecting PPE for respiratory protection is to contact a supplier. Manufacturers
and distributors do not just helping the selection of the most useful equipment, but can give
valuable aid in fit-sizing, cleaning, care and storage.

Proper Training

The next step is to obtain the workers complete compliance with requirements to wear the PPE. Several
factors influence compliance, among them are:

The extent to which the personnel who must wear the equipment understand its necessity.
The ease and comfort with which it can be used, or work with a minimum of interference with
normal work procedures

Maintenance Program

All equipment must be inspected periodically before and after use. A record of all inspections with the
date, tabulated results, the recommendation of the manufacturer for the maintenance of the device, and
the repair and replacement of parts supplied by the manufacturer of the product should be kept.

Enforcement

Employees need to know how the use of PPE will be enforced. Many companies have some kind of
disciplinary actions, such as unpaid time-off, and finally, termination. The enforcement of the use of
PPE is critical to a successful program.

REMEMBER

Key Points

To sum it up, you must consider many factors when selecting PPE to protect yourself, your
colleagues or your workers from workplace hazards. With all of the types of operations that can present
hazards and all of the types of PPE available to protect the different parts of a worker’s body from
specific types of hazards, this selection process can be confusing and at times overwhelming. Because
of this, it is highly recommended that you implement a PPE Program to help you systematically assess
the hazards in the workplace and select the appropriate PPE that will protect your workers from those
hazards.

Proper Training

The next step is to obtain the workers complete compliance with requirements to wear the PPE. Several
factors influence compliance, among them are:

The extent to which the personnel who must wear the equipment understand its necessity.
The ease and comfort with which it can be used, or work with a minimum of interference with
normal work procedures

Maintenance Program

All equipment must be inspected periodically before and after use. A record of all inspections with the
date, tabulated results, the recommendation of the manufacturer for the maintenance of the device, and
the repair and replacement of parts supplied by the manufacturer of the product should be kept.

Enforcement

Employees need to know how the use of PPE will be enforced. Many companies have some kind of
disciplinary actions, such as unpaid time-off, and finally, termination. The enforcement of the use of
PPE is critical to a successful program.
