HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Know the hazards, Assess Risks, Know Limitations of PPE
105
Once you know what you are protecting against, you can assess risk factors such as frequency of contact, duration of contact and concentration levels of exposure to determine if risk management controls such as engineering controls or administrative controls may be sufficient for you workplace situation. If not, PPE may be needed for some workers to protect them during certain activities or tasks where there is no other feasible way to reduce or eliminate their exposure.
Assess Risks
105
No single type of PPE provides complete protection under all conditions, therefore, it is important that each worker who wears PPE understands its limitations so they do not rely solely on this equipment for their protection while performing work activities.
Know Limitations of PPE.
105
Determine what you are protecting against and why it needs protection. Identify what materials, chemicals or substances could cause injury or illness to those exposed to them. This will help determine if PPE is required for workers who come into contact with these materials, chemicals or substances.
Know the hazards.
106
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT?
Respiratory Protection, Eye and Face Protection, Head Protection, Hand Protection, Foot Protection, Body Protection, Fall Arrest Equipment, Hearing Protection
