Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
DefinedPersonal Protective Equipment includes items worn or used by your employees to protect them from known or possible hazards associated with performing a job. PPE shields the employee from the hazard. Examples are gloves for chemical applications, safety helmets, safety glasses and respirators.

Personal Protective Equipment
Misconceptions
- “Just throw it on them”
- “How much training does it take to put on safety glasses? Respirator? Ear plugs?”
- “More is better than not enough”
- “I am exempt from the OSHA requirement because of FIFRA. FIFRA says the label is the law.”
- “I think that is a hazard and PPE is THE answer.”

Personal Protective Equipment
Start…at the Start
- JSA’s are the foundation
• Analyze the job
• Identify the hazard*
• Eliminate the hazard
• Re-evaluate the job

Personal Protective Equipment
PPE is not always the answer
- Eliminate the hazard
• Engineering Controls
• Eliminate the task
- Control the hazard
• Guardrails
- Safe working practices
- PPE should be considered LAST

Personal Protective Equipment
How do I decide what to use
- Follow the standard:
• MSDS’s
• Chemical Label
• OSHA, NFPA and ANSI Standards
- If standards conflict
• USE MOST STRINGENT GUIDELINES
![Page 9: Personal Protective Equipment - Plant pathologyplantpath.psu.edu/mushroom-industry-conference/52-mushroom-indust… · Personal Protective Equipment includes items worn ... • Update](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022423/5a9f4cb67f8b9a89178c940e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Personal Protective Equipment
How do I decide what to use (cont)
- After the standards, look elsewhere:
• Manufacturer’s Suggestion
• Look at your JSA
• Ask for employee input*
• Industry best practices

Personal Protective Equipment
Creating Your PPE Program (Cont)
- Additional details
• Respirators and SCBA’s are considered PPE, BUT require additional steps not in the PPE standard.
• Discipline must be frequent, consistent and documented
• Inventory of PPE should include equipment model numbers
• Update the JSA and PPE program if you eliminate the necessity of PPE through engineering controls.
![Page 18: Personal Protective Equipment - Plant pathologyplantpath.psu.edu/mushroom-industry-conference/52-mushroom-indust… · Personal Protective Equipment includes items worn ... • Update](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022423/5a9f4cb67f8b9a89178c940e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If you think Personal Protective Equipment
and the program that should be created
for it are too expensive,
imagine the cost of an injury or illness.
