PERSONAL PROTECTIVEEQUIPMENT

INTRODUCTION:

The first line of defense is to eliminate accident causing situations atthe workplace by effective engineering control measures. The

Personnel Protective Equipment is a second line of defense for

employee protection.

PPE does not and cannot eliminate hazards at work. As a barrier

between the hazard and worker, PPE can help eliminate the injury orreduce its severity.

PPE should confirm to applicable IS standards or codes of practices

and good engineering practices.

The principal requirements of PPE are:

To safeguard a person from the identified hazard to which he is

exposed.

To afford reasonable comfort.

To permit natural movement to the user to have efficient job

performance.

Should be easy for cleaning and maintenance.

HEAD PROTECTION

Classification:

The personal protective equipment are classified into two categories:

Non-respiratory PPE

Respiratory PPE

NON RESPIRATORY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

HEAD PROTECTION:

High density HDPE cross ribbed shell.

Replaceable cotton headgear and chin strap makes it

economical .

Additional lamp bracket attachments can be given .

IS-2925 and DGMS approved and marked .

HEAD PROTECTION

The SAFETY HELMET should withstand the impact of

a plumb ball of 500 GMS weight with conical steelpoint having an included angle of 36 Deg. Or a

spherical point radius of not more than 0.5 mm

dropped from a height of 3 Mtr. with pointed end

downwards on or suffering failure of any integral part.

The helmet should be right size hence adjust thefittings correctly and comfortably. Straps should not be

too tight.

Wear the helmet straight not tilled on the head. Do not

keep any packets, cards. Papers inside your hard hat.

Check regularly for cracks, dents and signs of wear

and for loose or broken straps.

Protect the helmets from exposure to heat or chemical

as much as possible.

Remove dirt and moisture after use. Clean it at least

once in a month by using cleanser and warm water.

Do not carelessly drop the helmet. Keep it in the

proper storage place.

EYE PROTECTION

EYE PROTECTION

Eyes are our windows to the world, the best means of direct andinstant communication that the body with the environment. Eyes are

precious, vital part of our body.

HAZARDS:

There are broadly 2 types of hazards associated with eye injury they

are:1. Mechanical hazard.

2. Chemical hazard.

MECHANICAL:In machining, grinding, chipping, cutting, handling

molten metals, there is great risk of flying practices, dust, chips,

sparks and molten metal splashes getting into the eyes and injuring

them.

CHEMICAL:Handling of chemicals in laboratories AND plants,

through pipelines, storage have the threat of chemical splash's, fumes,

dust and burns. In such risk situation appropriate eye protection is

must.

HAND PROTECTIONHAND PROTECTION

We use them constantly for so many diverse jobs. Our hands and fingers are

set of amazingly dexterous tools with the strength to grasp, grip lift, push, pull,

twist and hold things. They are sensitive to touch respond to pressure,

temperature and pain have the flexibility and co-ordination to perform highly

complicated and intricate jobs.

INJURIES:

The injury to hands involve minor and major cuts, fractures, crush by heavy

loads, puncture wounds by sharp objects, chemicals or thermal burns,dermatitis.

HAZARDS:

Mechanical: Rotating / revolving machineries, cutting, grinding operation. The

most vulnerable area is point of operation. Rotating gears, shafts, flywheels,

belts, pulleys etc can also trap the hands of the unwary.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Contact with hot objects, molten metal, liquids, acids, chemicals and corrosive

can cause injury to our hand.

CONTACT:

Contact with irritating substances is a common problem. Inflammation of skin,

dermatitis the principal injuries to the skin.

HAND PROTECTIONSELECTION OF HAND PROTECTORS:

The four criteria shall be considered.

Type of Job /Specific hazard / Proper fit/comfort / Proper design

TYPE CHARACTERISTIC PROTECTION AGAINST

1. Leather Gloves Plain cut resistant leather Cuts / abrasions during

with or without metal mesh handling of metal sheets

at palm. sharp edged objectsand sparks.

2. Acid / Alkali proof Rubber Corrosive chemicals,

rubber gloves

3. Nitrile hand gloves Neoprene All Solvent

4. Electrical gloves Made of insulated rubber Can be available for

having required dielectric protection against 11 kV,

strength & electrical 33 kV works.

resistance. Generally red

in colour.



FOOT PROTECTIONFOOT PRETECTION

In the process they are exposed to various hazardsand unfortunately are often injured.

HAZARDS:

Mechanical:Struck by falling / rolling or flying objects.

Chemical: Contact with acids, alkalis and other

chemicals.

Heat: Exposure to CORROSIVE CHEMICALS,

SOLVENT splashes or fire.

Fungal:Prolong exposure to water.

Slipping:Slipping on wet or oily surfaces.

For general use for foot protection safety shoes are

used. They are available in full size and half size they

can give protection against acid, alkalies i.e. corrosive

chemicals & petrochemical ( all solvent).

Secondly the safety shoes with steel toe are used for

protection against mechanical, chemical and slipping

hazard.



SKIN PROTECTIONSKIN PROTECTION

The skin is bodys first line of defense. It is role is vital in body

functions.

Protection of skin against all hazards (both at home and at work) is

important.

HAZARDS:

Physical: Pressure, heats, cold.

Chemicals: Acids, Alkali , Hydrocarbons, oils , tars, etc.

SKIN / BODY PROTECTORS

RESPIRATORY PROTECTIONRESPIRATORY PROTECTION

The respiratory system consisting of some vital organs of the body is

the very core of human being. If it collapses, life itself is extinguished.

Hence proper protection against the hazards is to be applied.

The hazards can be classified as,

1)Oxygen deficiency:

Due to decay of organic matter.

Due to other chemical reaction

In confined space due to traces of chemicals.

A person breathing air with O2 content of 16% less may show

symptoms of

Increase rate of breathing.

Acceleration of pulse rate

Unconsciousness.

2)Gases & Vapour contaminants

Toxic May produce harmful effect.Would endanger life of a person

Contaminants: (Dust, fumes, mist, fogs) e.g. liquid or vapour.

TYPES OF RESPIRATORY

PROTECTORS

A. .Air supplied respiratoryprotectors:1)Fresh air mask: It

consists of a full face mask and a

corrugated tube connected to

compressor or blower. It has a wide

application while handling anychemicals or in any emergency.

Care is to be taken that the non-

return valves (NRV) of the mask are

in operating condition.

SCBA SELF CONTAINED

SCBA - SELF CONTAINEDBREATHING APPARATUS.

2)Self-contained breathing apparatus:

In this, air is admitted to face piece

through a two stage pressure reducing

mechanism and accordingly air supplyis regulated. The exhaled air passes

through a non-return valve to

atmosphere. This apparatus has a

wide application in handling

emergencies like Bromine leakage,Hazardous spillage of chemicals etc.

The operation procedures are

demonstrated to the employees

B.Air Purifying Respiratory Protectors:

1) Gas mask: It consists of appropriate

chemical canister a face piece, breathing

tube and canister harness to hold the

canister in place on the body of wearer.

Chemical in the canister absorbs or

neutralizes the containment present in theair. Canister is designed for specific

containment and colour coding of canister is

done as per IS-8522. Do not use in

atmosphere containing less than 17 %

oxygen by volume or highly toxic

atmosphere or confined space.

DUST MASK

2) Dust mask: It covers nose and mouth of the wearer and had a filter

which filter dust and allows dust free breathing air to the wearer. It is

commonly used.

The selection of respiratory protectors depends upon nature of hazard, severity

of hazard, type of containment, concentration of containment, location of

contaminated area, activity of wearer, operating characteristics and limitations

of breathing apparatus itself.
