  3. Standards and Guidelines • CSA stands for the Canadian Standards Association. • ANSI stands for the American National Standards Institute. • Both organizations are responsible for the monitoring of standards. • CSA and ANSI maintain standards of safety for all types of personal protective equipment. • Personal protective equipment approved by Manitoba Regulation should be used in the workplace to ensure appropriate levels of safety support to workers.

  4. CSA Approved Marks for Canada

  6. Hearing Protection • The Guideline to Interpretation and Application of Hearing and Noise Control Regulation explains the requirements of the legislation in non-legal language. Lesson 6 Learning Activity #6.1 Slides #6

  7. STUDENT ACTIVITY • Divide the students into groups of two and distribute one item of PPE to each group. • Each group will be given 7 minutes to: • Prepare a brief demonstration on correct use of the assigned PPE and its specific safety features. • Ask students to briefly demonstrate its assigned PPE and encourage discussion. 3. Discuss any additional PPE information using the PowerPoint slides. Lesson 6 Learning Activity #6.2 Slides #1 - #6

  8. Hand Protection Hand Injury risk increases when… • The worker is inexperienced • The worker has not been trained • The worker is distracted • The workplace has poor lighting • The worker is not using the correct tools • The worker is rushing to get the job done

  9. Protect Your Hands • Keep hands away from moving machinery parts to avoid unintended contact • Use light sensor guards, actuators, hold down or clamping mechanisms, physical guards, blocking or push sticks

  10. If gloves are required for the job… • Choose a glove that is best suited for the job • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions • Inspect and test gloves for defects before using them • Ensure your gloves fit properly • When working with chemicals, review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) . Remember to wash the gloves before taking them off

  11. Protective Headwear Regulations • Protective headwear — construction project site. A worker at a construction project site must wear protective headwear that meets the requirements of CSA Standard Z94.1-05, Industrial. Protective Headwear — Performance, selection, care and use or ANSI Standard Z89.1-2003, American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection.

Eye and Face Protection • The Act requires that workers be provided with and use suitable eye protection when engaged in work which constitutes a hazard to the eyes or face. • Typical hazards include flying objects and particles, splashing liquids, molten metal and ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation.

  13. Respiratory Hazards and Respirators • Working in atmospheres with impure air, you need… Air Purifying equipment - Mechanical filters (dust masks); chemical cartridge respirators and gas masks. These respirators are not to be worn in oxygen deficient atmospheres. • Working in oxygen deficient atmospheres, you need… Air supplying equipment - Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) and stationary air supply. All respirators should be approved by a testing agency such as - NIOSH, MHSA, CSA or ANSI. Safe Work Bulletin, SF for Safe Farms #5 Grain/Crop Dusts Respiratory Protection.

  14. Protective Footwear • Manitoba Regulations require that protective footwear be worn by all workers who may be exposed to the risk of a foot injury. • Hazards include falling objects, moving machinery, sharp objects, electrical contacts, abrasives. • The CSA logo can only be applied to the footwear when they meet the performance criteria. • Selecting the right type and fit of footwear is essential.

  15. Fall Protection Systems • Travel-restraint systems limit a worker’s movement so the worker is unable to reacha location where there is a risk of falling. • Fall-arrest systems allows the person to be protected by falling only short distances and waiting rescue.

  16. Fall Protection Systems A fall protection system consists of these components: • Snap Hook (locking type) • Shock Absorber • Lanyard • Rope Grab • Lifeline • Anchor Point “REMEMBER” Falls from a height of even one meter can result in serious injury or death.

  17. Fall Protection • Manitoba Construction Regulation 189/85 states that every worker who may be exposed to the danger of falling must be protected when working at heights greater than 2.5 meters(8 feet).
