  3. PPE & Worker Protection Personal Protective Equipment PPE comes in at third place in OSHA’s Hierarchy of means to protect workers. “Eliminate Control and Protect” PPE is the Last Line of Defense

  4. 1910.132(a) Application. Protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. The OSHA Standard: 1910.132(a) Protective Equipment

  5. 1910.132(b) Employee-owned equipment. Where employees provide their own protective equipment the employer shall be responsible to assure its adequacy, including proper maintenance, and sanitation of such equipment. 1910.132(c) Design. All personal protective equipment shall be of safe design and construction for the work to be performed. The OSHA Standard: 1910.132(b), (c) Employer Responsibility, Design

  6. OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d) Hazard assessment and equipment selection. 1910.132(d)(1) The employer shall assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

  7. If such hazards are present, or likely to be present, the employer shall: 1910.132(d)(1)(i) Select, and have each affected employee use, the types of PPE that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in the hazard assessment; OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d) Hazard assessment and equipment selection.

  8. OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d) Hazard assessment and equipment selection. 1910.132(d)(1)(ii) Communicate selection decisions to each affected employee; and, 1910.132(d)(1)(iii) Select PPE that properly fits each affected employee. Note: Non-mandatory Appendix B contains an example of procedures that would comply with the requirement for a hazard assessment.

  9. 1910.132(d) Hazard assessment and equipment selection 1910.132(d)(2) The employer shall verify that the required workplace hazard assessment has been performed through a written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated; the person certifying that the evaluation has been performed; the date(s) of the hazard assessment; and, which identifies the document as a certification of hazard assessment. What if OSHA Asks? Demonstrate Compliance

  10. 1910.132(e) Defective and damaged equipment. Defective or damaged personal protective equipment shall not be used. OSHA Standard: 1910.132(e) Hazard assessment and equipment selection.

  11. 1910.132(f)(1) The employer shall provide training to each employee who is required by this section to use PPE. Each such employee shall be trained to know at least the following: 1910.132(f)(1)(i) When PPE is necessary; 1910.132(f)(1)(ii) WhatPPE is necessary; 1910.132(f)(1)(iii) How to properly don, doff, adjust, and wear PPE; 1910.132(f)(1)(iv) The limitations of the PPE; and, 1910.132(f)(1)(v) The proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the PPE. OSHA Standard: 1910.132(f)(1)Training

  12. 1910.132(f)(2) Each affected employee shall demonstrate an understandingof the training specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this section, and the ability to use PPE properly, before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE. 1910.132(f)(2)Training

  13. 1910.132(f)(3) When the employer has reason to believe that any affected employee who has already been trained does not have the understanding and skill required by paragraph (f)(2) of this section, the employer shall retrain each such employee. Circumstances where retraining is required include, but are not limited to, situations where: 1910.132(f)(3) Training

  14. 1910.132(f)(3) Training 1910.132(f)(3)(i) Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; or 1910.132(f)(3)(ii) Changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete; or 1910.132(f)(3)(iii) Inadequacies in an affected employee's knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.

  15. 1910.132(f)(4) The employer shall verify that each affected employee has received and understood the required training through a written certification that contains the name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training, and that identifies the subject of the certification. 1910.132(3)(f)(4) Training

  16. PPE Hazard Assessment Examples http://nasupplierhsse.bpglobal.com

  17. PPE Selection Based on the task performed Based on hazards present Physical state – gas, liquid, solid Concentration

  18. Where do I get this information? Material Safety Data Sheet? List of constituents and composition “Wear gloves.” “Wear respiratory protection.” Websites – Ansell Edmont (glove example); 3M respiratory protection Take field measurements of concentrations

  19. Example

  20. Task: operation of equipment pump trucks Diesel engines Midday: diesel particulates not highly visible despite multiple operating engines Early a.m. diesel emission cloud visible above work area due to Tyndall effect from stationary lighting sources

  21. Task: Chemical truck operator Chemicals contained in plastic carboys, direct connections made to blender truck via mixing manifold. Workers well protected, dermal, respiratory protection used appropriately, work operations occur in open area.

  22. How To: PPE Hazard Assessment Basics Make a list: A Simple Spreadsheet will work List the different types of tasks: Use JSA’s, Incidents, Near Misses, Industry Data List the potential hazards within the tasks List the PPE needed to help protect Research the specific PPE needed Involve the employees performing the work Add a certification and date Most effective are Craft Specific Make it a living document and Post it Use it to develop better JSA’s Continually Improve the list Use it for training

  23. Employee Involvement Recap Part 1 Review JSA’s Give them a checklist to fill out for a week Bring back ‘stuff’ from the VPPPA Conference  Don’t just observe, talk, talk, talk! Part 2 Consider reviewing the hazard assessment & annual training & inspection at the same time Review the final hazard assessment before certification Part 3 Post PPE Hazard Assessment Highlighter Idea

  24. Discussion What do you do? What do you think you might try?
