PERSONAL PROTECIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE

• Personal protective equipment (PPE)

refers to protective clothing, helmets,

goggles, or other garments or

equipment designed to protect the

wearer's body from injury. The hazards

addressed by protective equipment

include physical, electrical, heat,

chemicals, biohazards, and airborne

particulate matter.

PPE

• The purpose of personal protective equipment

is to reduce employee exposure to hazards

when engineering and administrative controls

are not feasible or effective to reduce these

risks to acceptable levels.

• PPE is needed when there are hazards present.

• PPE has the serious limitation that it does not

eliminate the hazard at source and may result

in employees being exposed to the hazard if

the equipment fails.

PPE BY TYPE - RESPIRATORS

• Respirators serve to protect the user

from breathing in contaminants in the

air, thus preserving the health of one's

respiratory tract.

• There are two main types of respirators.

RESPIRATORS

• One type of respirator functions by

filtering out chemicals and gases or

airborne particles from the air

breathed by the user

• A second type of respirator protects

users by providing clean, respirable air

from another source.

SKIN PROTECTION

•Any form of PPE that acts as a

barrier between the skin and the

agent of exposure can be

considered skin protection.

CEP

COLLECT IVE EQUIPMENT PROTECT ION

CEP

• Collective protection is used for group

protection of personnel in a nuclear,

biological, chemical or industrial

environment.

• Collective protection is an important

aspect of fixed site defense. Ideally, it

provides a contaminant free

environment for people, allowing relief

from the continuous wearing of gas

masks and other PPE equipment.
