INTRODUCTIONWHAT IS PERSONAL PROTECTION???Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injuryEmployers must provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to their employees and ensure its use.Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment worn to minimize exposure to a variety of hazards. Examples of PPE include such items as gloves, foot and eye protection, protective hearing devices (earplugs, muffs) hard hats, respirators and full body suitsCLASS OF PPE Eye & Face Protection

Head Protection

Hand Protection

Foot & Leg Protection

Ear Protection

LEGAL OF PPEhe Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 are set of regulations created under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 which came into force in Great Britain on 1 January 1993. The regulations place a duty on every employer to ensure that suitable personal protective equipment is provided to employees who may be exposed to a risk to their health or safety while at work.SELECTION OF PPE

Choose products which are CE marked in accordance with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002 suppliers can advise you.Choose equipment that suits the user consider the size, fit and weight of the PPE. If the users help choose it, they will be more likely to use it.If more than one item of PPE is worn at the same time, make sure they can be used together, eg wearing safety glasses may disturb the seal of a respirator, causing air leaks.Instruct and train people how to use it, eg train people to remove gloves without contaminating their skin. Tell them why it is needed, when to use it and what limitation it.Check with your supplier on what PPE is appropriate explain the job to them.PERSONAL PROTECTION Eye protection is required whenever there is danger of injury to the eyes or face from electric arcs or flashes or from flying objects resulting from electrical explosion.

EYES PROTECTION

HEAD PROTECTION

Helmet Class (Pre-1987)Regarding electrical performance, recognizes three classes: Class A Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects and also reduce the danger of contact with exposed low-voltage electrical conductors. Helmet shells are proof-tested at 2,200 volts of electrical charge.

Class B Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects and also reduce the danger of contact with exposed high-voltage electrical conductors. Helmet shells are proof-tested at 20,000 volts.

Class C Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects, but offer no electrical protection.

Class G (General) Helmets -This is equivalent to the old Class A. Class G helmets are proof tested at 2,200 volts.

Class E (Electrical) Helmets - This is equivalent to the old Class B. Class E helmets are proof tested at 20,000 volts.

Class C (Conductive) Helmets - This class provides no electrical insulation; the class designation did not change from the old standard.

Helmet Class (After 1986)

FOOT AND LEG PROTECTIONElectrical shock resistant (EH) footwear is manufactured with non-conductive electrical shock resistant soles and heals. It must be capable of withstanding the application of 14,000 volts at 60 hertz for one minute with no current flow or leakage current in excess of 3.0 milliamperes, under dry conditions.

THE HAND AND ARMCompliance with National StandardsThere currently are no ANSI standards for glove selection; therefore, selection must be based on the performance characteristics of the glove in relation to the tasks to be performed. Suppliers and manufacturers may provide compliance guidelines or references for food and pharmaceutical applications.TYPES OF HAND/ARM PROTECTIONDisposable gloves Critical-environment gloves Chemical-resistant gloves Temperature-resistance gloves -

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING/BODY WEARStandard is now available for all types of protective clothing or body protection. Where such standards exist, the only items of protective clothing and equipment that meet NIOSH, ANSI, ASTM, or NFPA standards, as appropriate, may be used. Questions about the appropriateness of a particular item for a given hazard should be referred to either the manufacturer or EHSS.

TYPESLab CoatsBarrier gowns provide protection from bloodborne pathogen splashes.Disposable suits, such as Tyvek or PVC-coated, protect against harmful particulates, some liquids and chemicals and bloodborne pathogens.Aprons come in a variety of materials to protect against a variety of hazards, such as chemicals, heat, sparks/slag, etc. SurgeryChemical suits, used in hazardous material spills for example, are categorized by levels.Level A suits provide protection against vapors and include a gastight zipper.Level B splash suits, such as Tychem, provide chemical and biological protection.

Hearing ProtectionTypes of Hearing ProtectionTo prevent noise-induced hearing loss, hearing protection devices must reduce noise exposure to time-weighted average (TWA) levels of 90 dBA or below, or to 85 dBA or below for those workers who have suffered a standard threshold shift (STS). HPDs reduce the amount of noise; however, they cannot eliminate all of the noise reaching the ear since noise can take many routes into the ear. The two most commonly used types of HPDs at Virginia Tech are:

Ear plugs, which are inserted into the ear canal to reduce the amount of noise that reaches the ear via that route. There are two types - disposable and reusable.Ear muffs, which are worn over the ear to reduce the amount of noise.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQIUPMENT INDUSTRY ELECTRICALHEADPROTECTION Employees must wear nonconductive head protection wherever there is a danger of head injury from electric shock or burns due to contact with exposed energized parts.Type 1 helmets incorporate a full brim (brim fully encircles the dome of the hat) Type 2 helmets have no encircling brim, but may include a short bill on the front Regarding electrical performance, ANSI Z89.1-1986 recognizes three classes:

Class A- Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects and also reduce the danger of contact with exposed low-voltage electrical conductors. Helmet shells are proof-tested at 2,200 volts of electrical charge. Class B- Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects and also reduce the danger of contact with exposed high-voltage electrical conductors. Helmet shells are proof-tested at 20,000 volts. Class C- Helmets reduce the force of impact of falling objects, but offer no electrical protection.

BODY PROTECTIONAs we learned earlier, employees working in areas where there are potential electrical hazards must be provided with, and must use, electrical protective equipment that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected and for the work to be performed flame resistant (FR) clothing.

EYES AND FACE PROTECTIONemployees shall wear protective equipment for the eyes or face wherever there is danger of injury to the eyes or face from electric arcs or flashes or from flying objects resulting from electrical explosion.When working on energized parts, the possibility of arc flash exists and the employee must be protected. Dangers could include heat, flying hazards and molten metal, therefore the PPE must be durable, non-conductive, heat resistant and provide deflection qualities.THE END , THANK YOU
