Safety Eyewear & Face Protection

Inspect safety eyewear and face protection prior to donning.

Safety eyewear and face protection must be clean of material and free from scratches that impede vision.

All damaged safety eyewear and face protection must be replaced.

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles must always be worn under secondary eye and face protection, e.g., face shield or welding helmet.

Safety Eyewear & Face Protection Requirements

Safety glasses with side shields must be worn at all times when in the manufacturing area unless in a Plant designated exempt area

Welding helmet must be worn during welding operations unless appropriate alternate protection is in-place, e.g., welding curtains Must also wear primary protection when wearing a

welding helmet

Safety Eyewear & Face Protection Requirements

Face shield required when the potential for flying particles and/or splashing liquids exists, e.g.,:

Operating milling, boring or drilling equipment Grinding operations (hand-held or pedestal

mounted) Operating spot welders which creates flying

sparks Transferring hazardous liquids into containers Using compressed air to clean equipment

NEVER USE AIR TO CLEAN-OFF YOUR BODY OR CLOTHES

(Also requires primary protection to be worn)

Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910.134 MIOSHA 451

Regulatory Requirements

Covers all required and voluntary use of respiratory protection in general industry

Requires a written program for required

Requires employee training, medical evaluation, and fit-testing

Elements of a Respiratory Protection Program

Written operating procedures

Proper selection of types Training and fitting Cleaning and disinfecting Storage Inspection and

maintenance Work area surveillance

Effective Use of Respirators

During installation of engineering controls

During maintenance operations During process turnarounds For non-routine tasks For emergency response At hazardous waste site operations When other controls are inadequate When other controls are not feasible

1910.135(a) General requirements

(1) Ensure that each employee

wears a protective helmet when

working in areas where there is

a potential for injury to the head

from falling objects

Head Protection

While hard hats are not usually required while working in the Plant, they must be worn by: Personnel near or around work being

performed overhead (e.g., on ladders, scaffolds, high lifts)

Personnel working under mezzanines with open grate flooring.

Personnel in any work situation where the potential for falling of flying objects exist

Head Protection

Protective hats are made in the following types and classes:

Type 1 – helmets with full brim, not less than 1 and ¼ inches wide

Type 2 – brimless helmets with a peak extending forward from the crown.

For industrial purposes, three classes are recognized:

Class A – general service, limited voltage protection

Class B – utility service, high-voltage protection

Class C – special service, no voltage protection

Hard Hats Continued

The ANSI Standard referenced in these Standards has been updated. 

The current version of the ANSI standard Z89.1 references a change in class lettering and numbering.  Glass G (General) replaces Class A

helmets are proof tested at 2,200 volts. Class E (Electrical), replaces Class B

helmets are proof tested at 20,000 volts. C (Conductive) remains Class C

provides no electrical insulation; the alpha designation did not change from the old standard.

Head Protection

• Hard hats must be worn with the bill forward.– Protects the face and nose.

• The shell must be clean and free from significant scratches, dents and abrasions.

• The harness must be fully intact, installed properly into the shell and there must be a one-(1) inch minimum head space between the hard hat suspension and the inside of the shell.

Head Protection

1” Minimum

All harness connections correctly installed

HARD HATS

HARD HATS

Ensure that each affected

employee uses protective

footwear when working in areas

where there is: A danger or potential of foot injuries

due to falling or rolling objects, or

Objects piercing the sole, and

Where such employee's feet are

exposed to electrical hazards

1910.136(a) General requirements

SAFETY SHOES

Steel toe safety shoes are recommended for

protection from falling objects

Should have oil / slip resistant soles and heels

Durable uppers

Sturdy construction

Replace when no longer provide protection

Sandals and other types of open-toed shoes are

not permitted in the work area

1910.138(a) General requirements

Employers shall select and require employees to use appropriate hand protection when employees' hands are exposed to hazards such as those from: Skin absorption of harmful substances; Severe cuts or lacerations; Severe abrasions; Punctures; Chemical burns; Thermal burns; and Harmful temperature extremes

Guidelines for Hand & Arm Protection Use

Chemical Resistant Gloves Wash gloves before removing Remove first glove. Grab cuff of

second glove with bare hand and remove glove inside-out

37

Guidelines for Hand & Arm Protection Use

Kevlar sleeves and all glove types: Inspect for uncharacteristic wear, tears,

cracks, holes. Discard and replace if damaged.

coating. Do the “roll-up balloon test”. Discard and replace if damaged .

Hearing Protection29 CFR 1910.95 & MIOSHA 380

Hearing Protection

There are three types of hearing protection – ear muffs, earplugs and ear caps.

Ear muffs and earplugs provide about equal protection, ear caps somewhat less.

Types of Hearing Protection

earmuffs

earplugs ear caps

Hearing Protection

Earplugs are made of foam, rubber or plastic and are either one-size-fits-all or in sizes small, medium and large.

Some are disposable, some are reusable which must be washed daily.

They are lightweight, and require no maintenance.

They are inserted into the ear canal.

Hearing Protection – Ear Plugs

Hearing Protection

All hearing protectors are designed to reduce the intensity (loudness) of noise to the inner ear.

Wads of cotton, bits of cloth, or gum stuffed in the ear are not appropriate protection.

Types of Hearing Protectors

Cotton doesn’t work!!

Hearing Protection

Foam type earplugs are one-size-fits-all and must be inserted properly into the ear.

Inserting Foam Earplugs

Roll earplug into small cylinder first, then insert in ear.

Hearing Protection

Inserting Foam Earplugs

Earplug incorrectly inserted Earplug correctly inserted

Hearing Protection

Proper Use of Hearing Protection

It won’t protect your ears if it is not worn properly!!!

Hearing Protection

It takes just a few minutes of unprotected exposure at noise above 85 decibels to risk hearing damage.

Earplugs not well inserted into the ear canal will not provide complete protection.

Likewise, earmuffs not snug against the head will “leak” noise into the ear.

Proper Use of Hearing Protection

Hearing Protection

Hearing aids do not block out enough sound for most workplace noise.

Some hearing aids can actually increase the noise level at the ear.

Just turning off the hearing aids will not prevent further hearing loss from noise exposure.

Hearing Aids Are Not Hearing Protection

Hearing Protection

Portable Radios/CD Players“Walkmans” do not provide protection from noise.

The earphones are not earmuffs and the music only adds to background other noise.

SAFETY HAS NO FINAL DESTINATION

IT IS A CONTINUOUS JOURNEY
