  8. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramIntroduction • Occupational Safety and Health Specialist Responsibilities • coordinating the PPE Program; • assisting departments with hazard assessments, analysis of injury / illness data, selection of PPE and training; • considering and assisting in the implementation of engineering controls for recognized hazards and; • maintaining copies of hazard assessments, reassessments, and PPE selection documentation.

  9. BGSU’s Written PPE Program Introduction • Management Responsibilities • supplying PPE to employees at no cost and; • providing employees with adequate training.

  10. BGSU’s Written PPE Program Introduction • Supervisor Responsibilities • attending the PPE1 training session offered by Environmental Health and Safety; • performing hazard assessments and reassessments; • fitting employees with PPE, issuing PPE, and providing the manufacturers instructions for use, care, limitations, and warnings; • providing documentation to Environmental Health and Safety of hazard assessments and reassessments;

  11. BGSU’s Written PPE Program 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.

  12. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramIntroduction • Employee Responsibilities • attending the PPE2 training session offered by Environmental Health and Safety; • properly wearing, cleaning, maintaining, and inspecting all assigned PPE, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and following the PPE program requirements; • returning all damaged PPE to their immediate supervisor, to receive a replacement and; • only using the PPE provided by the university.

  13. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramIntroduction • Program Enforcement • A violation of a University employee’s responsibility must be reported to the employee’s immediate supervisor for appropriate action.

  14. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramHazard Assessment The hazard assessment used to determine hazards in the workplace include: • Impact hazards • Penetration hazards • Compression hazards • Chemical hazards • Heat • Harmful dust • Optical radiation • Biological hazards • Noise hazards • Electrical hazards • Other

  15. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramHazard Re-Assessment • Supervisors must periodically reassess the workplace. • Elements to consider in the reassessment include: üEffectiveness of PPE Program ü      Injury and illness experience ü      Levels of exposure ü      Adequacy of equipment selection ü      Number of hour's workers wear various PPE ü      Adequacy of training/fitting of PPE ü      Program costs ü      The adequacy of program records ü      Coordination with overall safety and health program ü      New equipment and/or processes

  16. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramSelection Guidelines • After completion of the hazard assessment, Environmental Health and Safety assists in the following procedures used for selection of personal protective equipment: • Reviews possible engineering and/or administrative controls before deciding to use PPE. • Matches the potential hazards with the most appropriate types 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 Health Specialist will provide additional program information and evaluation.

  17. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramSelection Guidelines • Careful consideration must be given to comfort and fit. Departments must provide the user with proper, well-fitted protective devices. • Defective and damaged equipment or PPE shall not be used.

  18. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramTraining • PPE1 training session (Supervisor Session) • PPE2 training session (This Session)

  19. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramTraining • 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 training obsolete or; • Inadequacies in an employee's or supervisor’s knowledge in the use of the assigned PPE. • When retraining occurs, a written certification that contains the name of each employee trained, the date, and the subject of the certification is required. • Contact Environmental Health and Safety for questions or concerns.

  20. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramCleaning and Maintenance • It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained by the employee assigned to the equipment. • Cleaning is particularly important for eye and face protection. Dirty or fogged lenses can impair vision. • PPE must be inspected, cleaned, andmaintained by employees at regular interval and as stated in the manufacture’s instructions.

  21. BGSU’s Written PPE ProgramCleaning and Maintenance • If the piece of PPE is in need of repair or replacement, it is the responsibility of the employee to bring it to the immediate attention of his/ her supervisor. • Do not use PPE if it is in need of repair or if it is not able to perform its intended function. • Contaminated PPE, which cannot be decontaminated, must be disposed of in a manner that protects employees from exposure to the hazard. To inquire about the proper disposal methods of contaminated PPE, contact Environmental Health and Safety’s Safety and Health Coordinator at 372-2171.

  22. Hazard AssessmentWhen is PPE Necessary? • Impact hazards • Falling objects or potential for dropping objects.

  23. Hazard Assessment When is PPE Necessary? • Penetration Hazards • Objects or machinery that may cause punctures, cuts, or abrasions.
