Personal Protective Equipment

Standard

Engineering control measures, wherever feasible, will be the primary strategy utilized to reduce exposure to occupational

hazards. Must establish a program to promote the proper use of proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and clothing

to prevent occupational injury and illness when hazard elimination or engineering controls are not feasible. When PPE,

including covers for the eyes, face, head and extremities, respiratory devices and protective shields and barriers is used

contractors must have equipment and clothing suitable for uses in that environment; procedures for selecting, fitting,

utilizing and maintaining the equipment and clothing; and documented training provided for employees in the proper use,

care and limitations of the PPE and clothing. The PPE must be maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition where

there is a hazard from processes or environments that may cause injury or illness to the employees.

Minimum Requirements

1. Must develop and implement a written PPE program that includes:

a. Responsibilities of management, supervisors, and employees

b. Hazard assessment and PPE selection

i. Identification and evaluation of hazards in the workplace (Hazard Assessment)

ii. The use of PPE as an appropriate control measure

iii. How PPE is selected and maintained, and how its use is evaluated

2. Employee training

a. Any worker required to wear PPE must receive training in the proper use and care of PPE. Periodic retraining must be

offered by contractors to employees, as needed. Each employee must be trained to know at least the following:

i. When and why personal protective equipment is necessary

ii. What personal protective equipment is necessary

iii. How to properly don, doff, adjust and wear personal protective equipment

iv. The limitations of the personal protective equipment

v. The proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the personal protective equipment

vi. Laboratory and mixing personnel must be instructed to remove gloves and lab coats prior to entering common areas

(hallways, elevators, eating areas, rest rooms, offices, etc.). Secondary containers must be used for transport of potentially

hazardous materials or agents.

vii.

Each

employee

must

demonstrate

an

understanding

of

the

training

and

the

ability

to

use

personal

protective

equipment properly before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE.

3. Recordkeeping

个人防护用品（

PPE

）

Personal Protective Equipment

a. Written records must be kept of the names of persons trained, the type of training provided, and the dates when training

occurred. Contractors must maintain their employees’ training records for at least 3 years. Must maintain the Hazard

Assessment Certification Form for each work site evaluated for at least 3 years.

4. Must conduct a Hazard Assessment of the Workplace.

a. Must conduct inspections of all workplaces to determine the need for PPE and to help in selecting the proper PPE for

each task performed. For each work site, a certificate must be completed that lists the findings of the inspection and the

specific protective equipment needed.

5. Must conduct a walk-through survey of each work area to identify sources of hazards including impact, penetration,

compression,

chemicals,

heat,

dust,

electrical

sources,

material

handling,

and

light

radiation.

Each

survey

must

be

documented to identify the workplace surveyed, the person conducting the survey, findings of potential hazards and date

of the survey.

6. Must determine the suitability of the PPE presently available and, as necessary, select new or additional equipment

that provides protection from hazards greater than the minimum required. Where exposure to multiple and simultaneous

hazards is possible, adequate protection against the highest level of each of the hazards must be provided or recommended

for purchase.

7. All personal protective clothing and equipment must be of safe design and construction for the work to be performed

and must be maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition. Only those items of protective clothing and equipment that

meet NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health), Country standards may be procured or accepted for

use. Newly purchased PPE must conform to the updated Country standards (when applicable), as follows:

8. Eye and Face Protection

a. Prevention of eye injuries requires that all persons who may be in eye hazard areas wear protective eyewear. This

includes employees, visitors, researchers, third parties, or others passing through an identified eye hazard area. To provide

protection for these personnel, contractors must procure a sufficient quantity of goggles and/or plastic eye protectors that

afford the maximum amount of protection possible. If these personnel wear their own glasses, they must be provided

with suitable eye protection to wear over them.

b. Suitable protectors must be used when employees are exposed to hazards from flying particles, molten metal, acids or

caustic liquids, chemical liquids, gases or vapors, bioaerosols, or potentially injurious light radiation.

c. Contact lenses wearers must also wear appropriate eye and face protection devices in a hazardous environment.

d. Side protectors must be used when there is a hazard from flying objects.

e. Goggles and face shields must be used when there is a hazard from chemical splash.

f. Face shields must only be worn over primary eye protection (safety glasses or goggles).

g. For employees who wear prescription lenses, eye protectors must either incorporate the prescription in the design or

fit properly over the prescription lenses.

h. Equipment fitted with appropriate filter lenses must be used to protect against light radiation. Tinted and shaded lenses

are not filter lenses unless they are marked or identified as such.

9. Head Protection

a. Head protection must be furnished to, and used by, all employees and contractors engaged in construction and other

miscellaneous work. Head protection is also required to be worn by engineers, inspectors, and visitors at construction

sites when hazards from falling or fixed objects or electrical shock are present. Bump caps/skull guards must be issued

and worn for protection against scalp lacerations from contact with sharp objects. However, they must not be worn as

substitutes for safety caps/hats because they do not afford protection from high impact forces or penetration by falling

objects.

10. Foot Protection

a. Safety shoes or boots with impact protection are required to be worn when carrying or handling materials such as

packages, objects, parts or heavy tools, that could be dropped; and for other activities where objects might fall onto the

feet. Safety shoes or boots with compression protection are required for work activities involving skid trucks (manual

materials handling cars) or other activities in which materials or equipment could potentially roll over an employee’s feet.

Safety shoes or boots with puncture protection are required where sharp objects such as nails, wire, tacks, screws, large

staples, or scrap metal could be stepped on by employees, causing a foot injury.

11. Hand Protection

a. Suitable gloves must be worn when hazards from chemicals, cuts, lacerations, abrasions, punctures, burns, biologicals,

and

harmful

temperature

extremes

are

present. Glove

selection

must

be

based

on

performance

characteristics

of

the

gloves, conditions, durations of use, and hazards present. One type of glove will not work in all situations.

12. Skin Protection Other than Gloves

a. Skin protection must be worn when there is a possibility of chemical splashes to the body, when the atmosphere may

contain contaminants that could damage the skin or be absorbed by the skin, or when contaminants could remain on the

street clothes of an employee. The amount of coverage is dependent on the area of the body that is likely to be exposed.

For small controlled processes, an apron may be sufficient; for work above the head, a full body coverall may be required.

13. Reassessment and retraining

a. Reassessment of the workplace must be conducted when new equipment or processes are introduced that could create

new or additional hazards.

b. Accident records must be reviewed and the suitability of previously selected PPE be reevaluated, if warranted.

c. When the factory management has reason to believe that any affected employee who has been trained does not have

the understanding or skills required to use the PPE properly, the manager/supervisor must retrain such employees.

d.

Retraining

is

also

required

when

there

have

been

changes

in

the

workplace

or

PPE

that

render

previous

training

obsolete, or when there are inadequacies in the affected employee's knowledge or use of the assigned personal protective

equipment.
