  4. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DESIGN • PPE IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF THE EMPLOYEE • SOLELY USED AS AN INTERMEDIATE UNTIL THE HAZARD IS ELIMINATED OR ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE • APPROVED BY ANSI - RESPIRATORS BY NIOSH

  5. OSH POLICY • ENGINEERING CONTROLS SHALL BE THE PRIMARY METHOD USED TO ELIMINATE HAZARD EXPOSURE IN THE WORK PLACE

  6. OSH POLICY • CORRECT PPE TO BE PROVIDED • USE AND MAINTAIN IN A SANITARY CONDITION

  7. BASIC PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS • ACTIVITIES SHALL ASSESS WORK AREAS BY THE OSH MANAGER/IH DEPT. TO DETERMINE HAZARDS WHICH NECESSITATE THE USE OF PPE • SELECT, AND HAVE EACH AFFECTED EMPLOYEE USE THE CORRECT TYPE OF PPE

  8. BASIC PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS CON’T • COMMUNICATE SELECTIONS TO AFFECTED EMPLOYEES • PROVIDE WRITTEN CERTIFICATION THAT: - IDENTIFIES WORKPLACE - CERTIFYING PERSON - DATES OF CERTIFICATION

  9. BASIC PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSCON’T • ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES: • - PPE SURVEY • CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE BASIC HAZARD CATEGORIES: • - NOISE - CHEMICAL • - VIBRATION - HEAT • - FALLING/FLYING OBJECTS - DUST • - HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT/RADIATION - ELECTRICAL

  10. HAZARD ASSESSMENT • ONCE HAZARD ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN CONDUCTED, THE SURVEY WILL IDENTIFY TO EMPLOYEES: - WHO WILL WEAR PPE - WHEN TO WEAR PPE - WHAT PPE TO WEAR - HOW TO WEAR PPE - LIMITATIONS OF PPE - PROPER CARE, MAINTENANCE, USEFUL LIFE AND DISPOSAL OF PPE

  11. HAZARD ASSESSMENT CON’T • ONCE PERSONNEL HAVE DEMONSTRATED AN UNDERSTANDING OF TRAINING, VERIFICATION OF CERTIFICATION WILL BE PROVIDED IN WRITING • DOCUMENT ALL TRAINING

  13. VARIOUS TYPES • TYPES OF PPE DISCUSSED: - HEARING AND SIGHT - FOOT - RESPIRATORY - HEAD - HAND

  14. SELECTION OF PPE • Type of Material • Adequate Ventilation (Nature or Mechanical) • MSDS Recommend PPE • Length of Time Material is Utilized • Material Cause Injury into Eyes • Material Generate Sharp Chips or Dust • Wearing PPE Makes Sense

  15. EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS • ALL PPE AND EQUIPMENT SHALL MEET THE MINIMUM APPROVAL OF: - FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS - ANSI STANDARDS - UNDERWRITER’S LABORATORIES (UL), FACTORY MUTUAL (FM), AMERICAN SOCIETY OF TESTING AND MATERIALS (ASTM)

  16. EYE AND FACE ROTECTION • ANSI APPROVED EYE AND FACE PROTECTION SHALL BE WORN WHEN THERE IS REASONABLE PROBABILITY THAT AN INJURY CAN BE PREVENTED OR REDUCED BY WEARING SUCH EQUIPMENT

  17. TYPES OF EYE AND FACE PROTECTION INCLUDE: - SAFETY GLASSES - GOGGLES - FACE SHIELDS - WELDING HELMETS - FULL FACE RESPIRATORS SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES SHALL BE WORN UNDER FACE SHIELDS FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECTION EYEWEAR BASIC COVERAGE

  18. EYEWEAR BASIC COVERAGECON’T • TINTED OR SHADED LENSES MAY BE NEEDED FOR PROTECTION AGAINST GLARE • TINTED OR SHADED LENSES MAY LIMIT YOUR VISION WHEN MOVING FROM BRIGHT TO DIM AREAS • SPECIALLY NUMBERED LENS ARE PROVIDED FOR PROTECTION OF RADIANT ENERGY (WELDING, ETC.)

  19. EYEWEAR BASIC COVERAGECON’T • PRESCRIPTION LENSES PRESENT SPECIFIC HAZARDS SUCH AS: - DUST CAUGHT UNDER THE LENS - CHEMICAL REACTION WITH CONTACTS • IF PRESCRIPTION GLASSES ARE WORN YOU MUST WEAR: - GOGGLES AND/OR OTHER PROTECTIVE DEVICES DESIGNED TO FIT OVER GLASSES OR - PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR GROUND TO YOUR PRESCRIPTION

  20. DESIGNATED EYE HAZARDOUS AREAS • AREAS AND PROCESSES WHICH MAY PRODUCE EYE AND FACE HAZARDS: - FLYING PARTICLES AND CHIPS - SPLASHES FROM LIQUIDS SUCH AS ACIDS, CAUSTICS AND SOLVENTS - HOT SLAG AND MOLTEN METAL - WELDING GLARE • POST DESIGNATED AREAS WITH APPROPRIATE WARNING SIGNS

  21. RESPONSIBILITY • THE COMMAND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING THE PROPER PPE, TRAINING PERSONNEL IN PROPER USE, LIMITATIONS OF PPE, MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, AND ENFORCEMENT OF ITS USE!

  22. HEAD PROTECTION • HELMETS AND HATS FOR THE PROTECTION OF MARINE CORPS EMPLOYEES FROM THE IMPACT OF FALLING AND FLYING OBJECTS AND FROM LIMITED ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURN SHALL MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS OF ANSI Z89.1-1986 HEAD PROTECTION

  23. HEAD PROTECTION • SHELL IS DESIGNED TO ABSORB SOME IMPACT • SUSPENSION MUST BE ADJUSTED SO SHELL IS 1.5 INCHES ABOVE THE HEAD • HARD HATS ARE TESTED TO WITHSTAND IMPACT OF 8 LB WEIGHT DROPPED FROM 5 FT • HARD HATS MUST ALSO MEET WEIGHT, FLAMMABILITY AND ELECTRICAL INSULATION STANDARDS • POST DESIGNATED AREAS WITH THE APPROPRIATE WARNING SIGNS

  24. CLASSES OF HARD HATS COMPLIES WITH ANSI Z89.1 • CLASS A: PROTECTS FROM FALLING OBJECTS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCKS UP TO 2,200 VOLTS • CLASS B: PROTECTS FROM FALLING OBJECTS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCKS UP TO 20,000 VOLTS • CLASS C: PROTECTS FROM FALLING OBJECTS, BUT NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AROUND LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRE OR CORROSIVES • CLASS D: PROTECTION FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

  25. MAINTENANCE OF PPE • INSPECTION • REPAIR DAMAGE • CLEANING/ DISINFECTION • PROPER STORAGE • TRAINING • ENFORCEMENT

  26. FOOT PROTECTION • FOOT INJURIES ARE MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WITH: - HEAVY OBJECTS FALLING ON YOUR FEET - ROLLING OF HEAVY OBJECTS - PIERCING OF OBJECTS THROUGH SOLES OF YOUR SHOE
