11. HOUSEKEEPING

nherent with good housekeeping is the elimination of many hazards that

could result in falls, trips, cuts, fires and many other potential accidents. Dood

housekeeping is a visi!le advertisement and promotion of safe working

conditions.

&ontainers for trash and de!ris shall !e deployed throughout the site. Schedule

of pick-up and disposal of trash shall !e set to prevent overfilling containers

and large accumulations at any location.

$I. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE E"UIPMENT

/ll employees are re4uired to wear appropriate personal protective e4uipmentin all operations where there is e6posure to hazardous conditions or where there is

need for using such e4uipment to reduce the hazard to the employees.

nce issued, it is the responsi!ility of the employee to see that the issued

$$E@s are maintained in safe condition and inspected daily.

1. MINIMUM RE"UIREMENTS

Safety Shoes $ants >trouser? maong. #o worn out pants

+ong Sleeve T-Shirt

2. GUIDELINES IN THE USE OF P.P.E.S+

n providing safe working conditions, the use of personal protective e4uipment

is the last line of defense against possi!le in"ury. t must !e recognized that the use of

personal protective e4uipment fre4uently reduces or restricts some of our normal

senses that contri!ute to our safety awareness. 8or e6ample%

3earing safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or tinted goggles restricts

normal vision.

Earmuffs or plugs reduce hearing capa!ility.

*se of respiratory e4uipment fre4uently restricts vision.

3earing gloves reduces the sense of feel.

The discomfort of wearing many protective items is distracting to users.

HEAD PROTECTION

ecause of the danger of falling or flying material, or impact with fi6ed or

moving o!"ects, the wearing of non-conducting safety hats throughout the

construction site are normally mandatory.

EYE AND FACE PROTECTION

E6posure to air!orne physical, chemical or radiation agents that could in"ure

the eyes or face re4uires protection. efer to ule 0(:1 of the S)S. /t eachconstruction site consideration should !e given to mandatory eye protection for


23/34

certain areas or the entire site if conditions warrant and eye in"uries will !e reduced.

&ontact lenses do not constitute eye protection, and actually pose a hazard to the user

in some situations. &onse4uently, their use on site is strongly discouraged.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

$hysical or chemical contaminants in the air that are harmful if ingested !y

!reathing and;or possi!le o6ygen deficiency re4uire the use of respiratory e4uipment.

This e4uipment that fits over the nose, nose and mouth, or entire face can !e !roadly

classified !y its intended function.

The suppliers of canisters and filters identify them for the types of

environment they are effective in, and limit their use. These instructions must !e

o!served for proper protection.

/ny!ody e6cepted to use fresh air masks in the course of their work shall !e

given training and practice in the proper methods of wearing and operating this

e4uipment.

HEARING PROTECTION

)igh noise levels pose the long-range health hazard of loss of hearing to

e6posed workers. $ermissi!le noise e6posures are given in Ta!le :! of the S)S.

ecause of the changing activities and conditions, periodic monitoring for the noise

levels throughout the construction site are re4uired. 3hen noise levels a!ove

permissi!le level are o!served, the preferred course of action is to control or isolate

the noise source thus reducing it to a permissi!le level for e6posed workers. f it isimpractical to do this, hearing protection shall !e provided for e6posed employees.

Earmuffs or plugs of material designed for sound muffling shall !e used.

BODY PROTECTION

8or most works in a construction site, work clothing that covers the !ody, legs

and arms is ade4uate. 3orkers that are e6posed to heat, sparks or molten metal should

!e aware that some clothing materials are more flamma!le than others, i.e. some

synthetic fi!ers ignite and !urn more readily than natural cloth fi!ers. Suits or aprons

suita!le for the e6posure to e6treme heat, to6ic chemicals, or acids shall !e provided

if work conditions re4uire.

FOOT PROTECTION

t is advisa!le for all workers on a construction site to wear safety shoes

!ecause of the many hazards e6posing feet to in"ury. n addition, used of !oots may !e

re4uired when work is in water or feet are e6posed to chemical or acids.

HAND PROTECTION

arious types of gloves shall !e availa!le and used to protect the hands

from cuts, a!rasions and punctures, sparks, heat, cold, and molten metalA contact with

electricity, and e6posure to to6ic chemicals and acids.


24/34

e4uipment, scaffold !oards, form lum!er, and compressed gases. f volatile

materials are stored in a !uilding, it shall !e ventilated to avoid an

e6plosive atmosphere. /ccess to storage areas for flamma!le and

com!usti!le materials shall !e restricted, and sources of ignition for!idden

in the area. /s these materials are removed from storage for use, the

precautions re4uired to prevent ignition for each type of materials shall !e

o!served.

Sources of fire ignition e6ist throughout a construction site with welding,

flame !urning, grinding, heaters, and e6haust from engines or sparks from

electrical e4uipment. Scheduling shall minimize work with com!usti!le

materials in the vicinity of ignition sources. 3hen this is impractical, fire

protection e4uipment shall !e provided and consideration given to

providing a fire watchman to initiate action should a fire occur when the

fire hazard is large.
