INTRODUCTION
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to protect employees from
various occupational hazards. PPE typically includes gloves, eye protection,
respirators, hand protection, fall protection, face protection, and foot protection.
This E-book will cover necessary regulations for PPE, why PPE is important, and
also introduce individual PPE products.

DEFINITION
According to OSHA, Personal Protective Equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE",
is equipment worn to minimise exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace
injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with
chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards.
Personal protective equipment may include items such as gloves, safety glasses and
shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full body suits.
In 2020, PPE has become one of the main concerns for many organisations. Since
the Covid-19 pandemic has spread across the world, community cases have gone up.
Not only do organisations need to discover new safety solutions to protect their
employees and adapt to the current situation, the government must set new plans
and requirements for this pandemic.

5
DEFINITION
According to OSHA, there are significant standards and requirements for
preventing occupational exposure to Covid-19. This includes:
OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) standards (in general industry, 29 CFR
1910 Subpart I), and, in construction, 29 CFR
1926 Subpart E), which require that a PPE
hazard assessment be conducted to assess
workplace hazards, and that PPE, such as
respiratory protection, be used when
necessary.
When respirators are necessary to protect
workers, employers must implement a
comprehensive
respiratory
protection
program in accordance with the Respiratory
Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
Employers must protect their workers from
exposure to hazardous chemicals used for
cleaning and disinfection. Employers should
be aware that common sanitizers and
sterilizers
could
contain
hazardous
chemicals. Where workers are exposed to
hazardous chemicals, employers must
comply with OSHA's Hazard Communication
standard.

WHY IS PPE IMPORTANT
Ensuring a safe workplace includes providing instructions, procedures,
training, and supervision to encourage people to work safely and
responsibly.
Even when engineering controls and safe systems of work have been
applied, some hazards may remain. These include injuries to:
the lungs, e.g. from breathing in contaminated air
the head and feet, e.g. from falling materials
the eyes, e.g. from flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids
the skin, e.g. from contact with corrosive materials
the body, e.g. from extremes of heat or cold
PPE is needed in all of these cases to reduce the risk of injury
Shop now

PROPER USAGE OF PPE
All personal protective equipment should be safely designed and constructed and
should be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion. It should fit comfortably,
encouraging the worker to always use it. If the personal protective equipment
does not fit properly, it can make the difference between being safely covered or
dangerously exposed. When engineering, work practice, and administrative
controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must
provide personal protective equipment to their workers and ensure its proper use.
Employers are required to train employees wearing personal protective
equipment so they t know:
When it is necessary
What kind is necessary
How to properly put it on, adjust, wear and take it off
The limitations of the equipment
Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the equipment
If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should
address the hazards present; the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE; the
training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing
effectiveness.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Disposable respirators
According to American Thoracic Society, a disposable respirator fits over the
nose and mouth. It removes very small particles from the air you breathe. These
particles include germs (like viruses, bacteria, and mold) and other kinds of dust.
A disposable respirator does not have replacement parts. It is meant to be
thrown away after use.
While disposable respirators look similar to masks used during surgery and
other medical procedures, the two are designed for very different purposes.
Surgical masks are primarily made to keep particles breathed out by the wearer
– for example, saliva or mucus – from contaminating the work environment.
Respirators, on the other hand, protect the wearer against potentially hazardous
particles created by the work environment.
A disposable respirator should be worn:
when in a moldy building, such as after a flood
when visiting or caring for someone in the hospital with tuberculosis
if recommended during an outbreak of influenza (“flu”) or other infection
if recommended by your doctor
if required in your workplace

HEAD PROTECTION
Head protection such as hard hats are mandatory in most industrial
workplaces to protect workers from hazards such as electrical shocks and
burns. Hard hats are made specially for high-risk environments, unlike
ordinary bump caps, that do not have the impact to bounce off hard
elements to protect the worker’s head.
Regular cleaning and inspection to ensure no holes, cracks or damages will
extend the useful life of the head protection. Cleaning agents may weaken
the exterior of the hard hats, which may eliminate the electrical resistance.
Instead, simply rinse it with normal temperature water. Furthermore, do not
try to keep the hard hats directly under the sunlight, as the ultra-violet (UV)
ray and heat will cause damage to it.

Eyewear
Protecting your vision on the job is important. When it comes to eye
protection, the right fit makes all the difference. Get eyewear that performs
— and looks good doing it. Featuring a comfortable fit and a sleek profile
designed to work with other personal protective equipment, SecureFit Safety
Glasses helps keep you safe and comfortable on the job.
SecureFit Safety Glasses naturally adjusts to the temples of individual head
sizes for a customised fit to each person. This self adjusting feature is possible
through Pressure Diffusion Temple Technology (PDT), a new design with no
moving parts and nothing to adjust. Designed to diffuse pressure over the
ears, the glasses automatically adjust to the head and facial features of the
wearer. Weighing less than 1 ounce, the durable, snug fitting, flexible nature
of SecureFit offers a more comfortable and personal fit than old fashion “one
size fits all” glasses that are rigid and unyielding in design. These glasses
adapt to the wearer, rather than the other way around. The snug fit also
keeps the glasses securely in place as the wearer looks up and down or side
to side, eliminating the need for frequent repositioning of the glasses due to
head movement. In addition, these safety glasses help eliminate the expense
of stocking multiple frame sizes at job sites to accommodate different
people.
The anti fog coating on the lenses helps reduce the chances of fogging in hot
and humid environments. Anti fogging properties help maintain visibility and
reduce the need to remove glasses to wipe away moisture from the lenses.
Removable foam lined gaskets help keep debris out of your eyes while
providing comfort and cushioning.

FACE PROTECTION
Face protection comes from either face shields or headgears, which provide
head and face protection in working environments with sparks, chips, and
debris.
This safety system includes ratchet headgear and a polycarbonate face shield.
An adjustable thirteen-position ratchet suspension and five-position crown strap
offer customiszed settings for individual users. The clear, molded faceshield
provides unrestricted visibility and high impact protection.
Workers performing tasks in which flying sparks or particles are present should
wear protection to shield their face and head. Industries in which this is typically
true include metalworking, utilities, and woodworking. Because the shield does
not fully enclose the face, protective eyewear should also be worn to safeguard
eyes.
The W-Series Faceshields offer optical clarity and high-performance durability in
unpredictable environments that involve exposure to impact hazards and flying
debris. Clear Polycarbonate Faceshield with molded polycarbonate faceshield
provides an impact head and face protection in working environments with
sparks, chips, and debris. Meets requirements of an ANSI Z87.1-2003.
Molded polycarbonate face shield provides impact
protection
