Personal Protective Equipment
Objectives
At the end of the session, the participants will be able to:
 Understand employer and employee responsibilities regarding

personal
protective equipment
 Understand factors influencing selection, use, and care of personal
protective equipment
 Understand potential injuries caused by not wearing personal
protective
equipment.
1. Direct Hazards
 Unguarded Machines
 Falling/Flying Materials
 Slippery Floors, etc.

2. Physical Hazards
 Noise
 Temperature Extremes
 Ionizing/Non-Ionizing Radiation
 Extreme Pressure
 Vibration
3. Chemical Hazards
 Vapors
 Gas
 Dusts
 Fumes
 Mists
4. Biological Hazards
 Bacteria
 Virus
 Fungi
5. Ergonomic Hazards
Eng’g.
Control
Administrative
Control

 Methods that are built into the
design of a plant, equipment or
process to minimize the hazard.
Eng’g.  A very reliable way to control
Control worker exposures as long as the
controls are designed, used and
Administrative maintained properly.
Control
Examples…
Initial design specifications
Personal Protective Substitute less harmful material
Equipment
Change process
Enclose process
Isolate process
 Limit workers' exposures by
scheduling shorter work times in
contaminant areas or by
implementing other "rules".
Eng’g.  These control measures have
Control
many limitations because the
hazard itself is not actually
removed or reduced.
Administrative
Control
Examples…
Job rotation
Personal Protective Housekeeping & maintenance
Equipment
Personal hygiene
Wet method
 To reduce employee exposure to hazards
when engineering and administrative
controls are not feasible or effective in
reducing these exposures to acceptable
Eng’g. levels.
Control
 Employers are required to
determine if PPE should be used to
protect their workers.
Administrative
Control
Examples…
Safety Shoes
Personal Protective Hard Hat
Equipment Safety Harness
Safety Glass
Safety Goggles
Visibility Vests
 People have used personal
protective equipment (PPE) for
centuries to protect themselves
while they work. For example:
 Medieval knights had armor
 Blacksmiths have always used a leather
apron
 Cowboys wear leather chaps
 Eskimos wear a heavy parka, gloves, and
boots
 Firemen wear heavy coats and special
helmets
Personal Protective Equipment today, as in the
past, makes working safer and more productive.
Even with engineering controls, Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) maybe required
as part of normal safety procedures. If a
control fails, or something else unexpected
happens, it would be best if the worker is
wearing the required PPE that will provide
the protective barrier between the worker
and the hazard.
 Match the specific hazard associated

with the job assigned
 Properly fit and be correctly worn
 Be regularly inspected and maintained
in good condition
 Employer
Assess workplace for hazards
Provide PPE
Determine when to use
Provide PPE training for employees and instruction in proper use
 Employee
Use PPE in accordance with training received and other
instructions
Determine when to use
Inspect daily and maintain in a clean and reliable condition
1. Written Policy
2. Proper Selection of PPE
3. Proper Training
4. Maintenance Program
5. Incentive System
6. Enforcement
Written PPE Policy includes:
1) Purpose – to protect the employees from exposure to

work hazards and the risk of injury through the use of PPE
2) Responsibilities of supervisor and employees

Proper selection of PPE:
1)Hazard assessment
2)Selection of PPE – should be of safe design and

construction for the work to be performed
1. Use 5. Care
2. Type 6. Maintenance
3. Fit 7. Useful Life
4. Limitations 8. Disposal
Body Part Protection

Feet safety shoes
Hands and arms gloves
Bodies vests
Hearing earplugs, earmuffs
Hazards:
 Impact
 Penetration
 Absorb shock
 Electrical
 Hard Hat
 Bump Cap
 Standard safety hats or

helmets should be worn when
work requires
 Safety hats or helmets should
be inspected for impact or
rough cracks, signs of
treatment, and wear that might
reduce the degree of safety
originally provided.
 Damage safety hat or helmet
should be replaced.
Hard Hats ANSI Requirement

conductors
