When PPE is necessary

What PPE is necessary How to wear and limitations of assigned

PPE



Importance of Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) When hazards can not be eliminated through

engineering and /or administrative controls, PPEmust be used to protect the eyes, face, head, feet,

hands, arms, body, ears, and lungs. Preventable Injuries (BGSU History)

± Chemical burns to the eyes

± Chemical irritation to the eyes and skin

± Particulate matter in the eye

± Heat burns

± Slips, trips, and falls

± Cuts and abrasions



Importance of Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE)What is PPE?

Equipment that workers wear to protect

themselves from hazards in their work environment.

Examples:

hearing protection safety goggles

respirators safety glasseshard hats safety shoes

gloves

Objective

Applicability




Introduction Occupational Safety and Health Specialist

Responsibilities

± coordinating the PPE Program;

± assisting departments with hazard assessments,analysis of injury / illness data, selection of PPEand training;

± considering and assisting in the implementation of engineering controls for recognized hazards and;

± maintaining copies of hazard assessments,reassessments, and PPE selection documentation.




IntroductionManagement Responsibilities

± supplying PPE to employees at no cost and;

± providing employees with adequate training.




Introduction Supervisor Responsibilities

± attending the PPE1 training session offered by

Environmental Health and Safety;

± performing hazard assessments and reassessments;

± f itting employees with PPE, issuing PPE, and

providing the manuf acturers instructions f or use,

care, limitations, and warnings;

± providing documentation to Environmental Health and

Safety of hazard assessments and reassessments;




Introduction Supervisor Responsibilities (cont.)

± ensuring all employees are trained on the PPE program

and it¶s requirements;

± maintaining records of hazard assessments,reassessments, training, retraining, and PPE selection;

± enforcing the PPE program by ensuring that all

subordinates comply with all facets of BGSU¶s PPE

program, including inspection and maintenance and;

± providing a copy of the PPE Program to employees

upon their request.




Introduction Employee Responsibilities

± attending the PPE2 training session offered by

Environmental Health and Safety;

± properly wearing, cleaning, maintaining, and inspectingall assigned PPE, according to the manufacturer¶s

instructions, and following the PPE program

requirements;

± returning all damaged PPE to their immediatesupervisor, to receive a replacement and;

± only using the PPE provided by the university.




Introduction Program Enforcement

± A violation of a University employee¶s

responsibility must be reported to theemployee¶s immediate supervisor for

appropriate action.




Hazard AssessmentThe hazard assessment used to determine hazardsin the workplace include: ± Impact hazards

± Penetration hazards

± Compression hazards

± Chemical hazards

± Heat

± Harmful dust

± Optical radiation

± Biological hazards

± Noise hazards

± Electrical hazards

± Other




Hazard Re-Assessment Supervisors must periodically reassess the

workplace.

Elements to consider in the reassessment include:

Effectiveness of PPE Program

Injury and illness experience

Levels of exposure

Adequacy of equipment selection

Number of hour's workers wear various PPE

Adequacy of training/fitting of PPE

Program costs

The adequacy of program records

Coordination with overall safety and health program

New equipment and/or processes




Selection Guidelines After completion of the hazard assessment,Environmental Health and Safety assists in thefollowing procedures used for selection of personal protective equipment:

± Reviews possible engineering and/or administrativecontrols before deciding to use PPE.

± Matches the potential hazards with the most appropriatetypes of PPE using the PPE Selection Guidelines found

in Appendix B of BGSU¶s written PPE Program. ± If, during the hazard assessment, a noise or respiratory

hazard is indicated, the Occupational Safety and HealthSpecialist will provide additional program informationand evaluation.




Selection Guidelines Careful consideration must be given to

comfort and fit. Departments must provide

the user with proper, well-fitted protectivedevices.

Defective and damaged equipment or PPE

shall not be used.




Training PPE1 training session (Supervisor Session)

PPE2 training session (This Session)




Training Retraining is required, but not limited to, the

following circumstances

± Changes in the workplace or changes in the types of

PPE to be used which would render previous trainingobsolete or;

± Inadequacies in an employee's or supervisor¶sknowledge in the use of the assigned PPE.

± When retraining occurs, a written certification thatcontains the name of each employee trained, the date,and the subject of the certification is required.

± Contact Environmental Health and Safety for questionsor concerns.




Cleaning and Maintenance It is important that all PPE be kept clean and

properly maintained by the employee assigned tothe equipment.

Cleaning is particularly important for eye and face protection. Dirty or fogged lenses can impair vision.

PPE must be inspected, cleaned, and

maintained by employees at regular interval and asstated in the manufacture¶s instructions.




Cleaning and Maintenance If the piece of PPE is in need of repair or replacement,

it is the responsibility of the employee to bring it tothe immediate attention of his/ her supervisor.

Do not use PPE if it is in need of repair or if it is notable to perform its intended function.

Contaminated PPE, which cannot be decontaminated,must be disposed of in a manner that protectsemployees from exposure to the hazard. To inquire

about the proper disposal methods of contaminatedPPE, contact Environmental Health and Safety¶sSafety and Health Coordinator at 372-2171.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Impact hazards

± Falling objects or potential for dropping

objects.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Penetration Hazards

± Objects or machinery that may cause punctures,

cuts, or abrasions.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Compression Hazards

± Machinery/heavy objects that may roll over and

crush or pinch feet.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Chemical Hazards

± Chemical exposures from inhalation or contact

with the skin and eyes.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Chemical Hazards

± Areas and departments must maintain a current

list of hazardous chemicals used in their localoperations.

± Area and department supervisors are responsible

for conducting, maintaining, and updating the

inventory for the employees work location.



Hazard Assessment

When is PPE Necessary? Material Safety Data Sheets

± It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensurethat MSDSs for all hazardous substances identified

on the hazardous materials inventory are availableand accessible to all employees when they would
