1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines that ensure adequate
provision, enforcement of use of PPE for water-cooled heat exchanger replacement
Project and its subcontractor personnel.
The use of personal protective equipment is one of the control options available for
controlling hazards in the workplace and not substitutes for effective engineering
controls, safe work conditions or sound work practices, but can play an essential
part in the protection of the worker.
Its use does neither eliminate the hazard nor does it prevent incidents but helps to
reduce the impact or adverse health effects, if used correctly
2. SCOPE
This procedure provides guidelines for DECN and Contractors on the requirements
for conducting a hazard assessment of the workplace to determine the need for
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), communicating the assessment
results to employees, eliminating defective PPE, and training employees in the
proper use of PPE.
3. REFERENCE
(1) Project HSE Management Plan (NHX-HSE-01HSE Plan)
4. OBJECTIVES
1) To ensure all personal protective equipment requirements of DECN and its
subcontractor employees involved in the project are identified.
2) To ensure the use of properly fitted and effective PPE for specific jobs.
3) To establish a procedure detailing accountability for selection, use, inspection,

and to evaluate the effectiveness of the PPE program.
4) To regulate the standard of PPE supplied to all employees irrespective of their
employer.
5. PPE GUIDELINES
1) Basic PPE to be worn by all site employees shall be safety helmet, safety
glasses with side protections, steel toe capped safety footwear, gloves, overalls
or long sleeve shirt and trousers of cotton or poly-cotton.
2) Types of PPE issued shall be detailed in the Work Method Statement.

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
3) DECN project management team shall ensure that PPE are properly maintained
in good order and replaced at no charge when defective.
4) DECN employees shall wear the personal protective equipment required, a
failure in compliance will result in disciplinary action against the offender
employees and where appropriate, their line supervision.
5) All PPE shall conform to KOSHA / International standard (ANSI, BS, CE, etc.)
or approved by the Client is fit for purpose and is comfortable.
6. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

7.1 Head Protection
7.1.1 General Duties (Safety Helmet)
For use in situations where hazards include striking head against fixed objects at
head height or falling objects from above. It should be manufactured from plastics.
Helmets are required to be replaced if subjected to severe impact.
Local regulations may require helmets not to be worn in the vicinity or helicopter
operations, except for Firemen's helmets worn during firefighting duties.
The use of paint (aerosol type) and certain adhesive stickers may affect the
integrity of the helmet and should not be allowed.
Metal safety helmets shall not be used.
7.1.2 Specific Safety Helmets
 Air Supplied Helmets should be worn when working with chemical sprays
or grit blasting.
 Welding Helmets/Caps, which give protection against dangerous arc
radiation and hot particles of weld metal, shall be worn when engaged in
welding operations.
7.1.3 Care and Maintenance
Safety helmets must be properly cared for and maintained by:
(3.1) Storing them in a safe place when not in use, for example on a peg or in a
cupboard.
(3.2) Visual examining for signs of damage or deterioration on a regular basis.
(3.3) Replacing defective harness components.
(3.4) Regular cleaning or replacing the sweat band.

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
All safety helmets are susceptible to loss of strength and impact resistance from
ultraviolet light, temperature extremes and chemical degradation. An inspection
and maintenance program that includes provision for replacement should be
established. The service life of a safety helmet can be extended by cleaning
both the shell and harness as a part of the maintenance program.
7.2 Eye Protection

7.2.1 General Duties (Safety Spectacles/Glasses)
Eyes require to be protected against injury from wind-blown debris, and from
impact against various fixtures, fittings or loose items which the wearer may
inadvertently knock into by nature of working within the close confines of plant or
equipment.
Eye protection shall be worn at all times when inside construction area. Dark
safety glasses should be used while working in the sunny areas; it filters the UV
rays presence in the sunlight, whereas clear safety glasses should be used during
night time or poor visibility.
7.2.2 Corrective Lenses
Personnel wearing corrective lenses require the same level of eye protection as
those without corrective lenses; a specially designed cover safety glass is to be
worn on top of the corrective lenses. Impact resistance corrective lenses with side
shields may be used for general purpose.
7.2.3 Welding Operations (Eye, Face and Neck Protection)
Welding operations require special eye, face and neck protection for the operator.
Assistants, Firewatchers will also require protection against ultra-violet radiation.
7.2.4 Safety Goggles / Face Shields

Certain operations are significantly more hazardous to the eyes, and the eye
protection selected must be suitable against particular hazard in question. For
operations including grinding, scraping, chipping etc., the handling of chemicals
and solvents, sample taking, etc., advice should be sought from the Safety and
Environmental Protection Division. Full-view goggles/face shields may be
required and they should be suitable for dust or chemical protection.
7.2.5 Side shields
Safety spectacles are intended to shield the wearer’s eye from impact hazards such
as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles. DECN shall ensure to use
eye safety spectacles with side shields (Clip-on or slide-on side shields) workers

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
who use the spectacles when there is a hazard from flying objects. Non-side shield
spectacles are not acceptable eye protection for impact hazards.
The lenses of eye and face protectors must be kept clean as dirty lenses restrict
vision, causing eye fatigue and leading to incidents.
Scratched or pitted lenses should be replaced as they may impair vision and their
resistance to impact may be impaired. Transparent face shields should be replaced
when warped, scratched or brittle with age.
7.3 Hand Protection

7.3.1 General Purpose Gloves
General purpose gloves should only be used to protect against minimal risks to
health and safety (i.e. resist cuts and abrasions, repel some liquids and offer a good
grip).
Care should be taken in the donning, use, removal and storage of protective gloves.
They should be maintained in good condition, checked regularly and discarded if
worn and deteriorated.
Gloves should always be maintained according to manufacturer's instructions
Where tests show that penetration through a glove can occur, a control system of
regular glove checking, cleaning and replacement must be put in place.
Gloves are to be regularly examined for cuts, punctures, abrasion, cracks,
contamination, etc. Areas between the fingers and other flex points must be
carefully examined. Although it may be practical to decontaminate and re-use
gloves in certain situations, the cleaning process usually does not remove all the
toxic material, thus reducing breakthrough time for subsequent use. Discarded and
contaminated gloves are to be destroyed in order to prevent unauthorized retrieval
and use (this is especially important for gloves that may have been in contact with
very toxic substances.)
Gloves should be stored at ambient temperatures away from light, moisture,
solvents and chemicals. Each person should be issued with protective gloves on a
personal basis to prevent the spread of contagious skin infections.
7.3.3 Safety Gloves for Specific Hazards
Approved safety gloves must be worn for specific types of exposure;
1) Leather Rigger Gloves

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
Leather rigger gloves are required to be carried by all members of the crew,
carrying out heavy duty lifting work. Firefighting gloves provide better protection
against heat and flame.
2) Chemical Handling (PVC/Neoprene Gloves)
Particular care should be used when handling chemicals, which must not come into
contact with the skin. PVC gloves for handling acids/alkalis should be worn.
Special gloves are available (Nitrile) for handling solvents. Handle and remove
gloves carefully to avoid contamination of hands and inside the gloves. Wash
hands and arms frequently, dry them carefully and use a hand cream to prevent
dryness of the skin through loss of natural oils. Keep cuts and abrasions covered
with waterproof plasters.
3) Electrical Work (Electric Gloves / Power Isolation Gloves)
Wear approved Electric gloves while working on live electric equipment, however
after the power is cut-off, general purpose gloves can be used.
7.4 Foot Protection

Safety footwear protects against hazards ranging from dermatitis to crushing
injuries. Within this broad range of hazards, consideration needs to be given to the
possibility of contact with chemicals, extremes of heat, slippery surfaces, punctures
from nails or other sharps objects, and electrical hazards both live and static. All
personnel working in, or visiting any potentially hazardous areas such as
construction sites, workshops, process areas, etc. must wear safety footwear at all
times while in the area.
7.4.1 Boots and Shoes
These are the most common types of safety footwear and normally comprise
rubber soles and leather uppers with integrated steel toecaps. They may also have
other safety features including slip resistant soles and steel mid-soles and
insulation against extremes of temperature
7.4.2 Wellington Boots
These protect against water and wet conditions and are useful in jobs where the
footwear needs to be washed and disinfected for hygienic reasons, such as in food
handling. Usually made from rubber, they are also made from polyurethane and
PVC that have greater chemical resistance. Wellington boots are available with
steel toecaps and instep guards.
7.4.3 Selection
The selection of protective footwear depends primarily on the hazard(s) but
comfort and durability must also be considered. The choice is therefore made on

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
the basis of suitability for protection, compatibility with the work and the
requirements of the user.
Generally, safety footwear must be flexible, wet resistant and absorb perspiration.
Boots should be selected where ankle protection is required. The ability to resist
corrosion, abrasion and industrial wear and tear should also be considered.
Manufacturers’ instructions and markings for appropriate use and level of
protection must always be observed.
Specific requirements for protective footwear are as follows:
1) Soles
Boots and shoes to have treaded soles for slip resistance. Soles can be heat and oil
resistant, shock resistant, anti-static or conductive, as required for the work being
carried out. Footwear intended to protect against oils, solvents or liquids to have
soles that are molded or bonded to the upper. Footwear with steel mid-soles to be
used where there is a risk of the sole being pierced by nails and similar objects.
The soles of footwear used for abseiling work to have a substantial instep to enable
a firm footing when climbing.
2) Steel toecaps
They shall be capable of resisting a heavy/sharp object falling from a considerable

height.
3) Metatarsal guards/protection
Employers can use metatarsal guards or footwear with built-in metatarsal

protection when metatarsal protection is needed in the workplace. The guards or
footwear shall be capable of resisting a heavy/sharp object falling from a
considerable height.
4) Burn protection
Footwear made of leather to be used to protect against burning by sparks and slag.
5) Waterproofing
People working in wet places shall wear safety footwear impervious to water.
Rubber and PVC are suitable waterproofing materials for footwear but are not
permeable and prevent the escape of perspiration.
6) Anti-static
Anti-static footwear offers protection against the hazard of static electricity and
gives some protection against mains electric shock. Anti-static footwear to be worn
where there is both a hazard from static build up and the possibility of contact with
mains electricity. The soles shall have a resistance low enough to allow static
electricity to leak slowly away while maintaining enough resistance to protect
against a 240 V mains electric shock.
PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02

Safety footwear must be maintained in good condition, checked regularly and
discarded if worn or deteriorated. Bootlaces are to be checked and replaced if
necessary. Materials lodged in the sole tread should be removed without further
damaging the tread. Stitching should be checked for loose, worn or cut seams.
Protective silicone sprays or waxes may be used to give protection against wet
conditions.
7.5 Body Protection

7.5.1 General Duties
Apparel for construction site shall be free of holes, excessive wear and other
defects. Only proper work clothing (e.g., Coveralls, long pants and sleeved shirt)
shall be worn by personnel performing construction, maintenance and operations
work.
7.5.2 Coveralls
Coveralls give protection to the wearer against l dirt, grime, small oil splashes,
minor abrasions and burns etc.
For dealing with caustic, corrosive or acid substances a suitable resistant suit shall
be used.
Protective clothing shall only be used for the purpose intended.
When employees such as operators/welders and maintenance personnel are in the
areas where flash fire hazards exist, your employees must wear flame-resistant
garments/flame-resistant clothing (Fire/Flame Retardant Coverall) to protect
against the flash fire hazards.
7.5.3 Foul Weather Duties (Jacket and Over-Trousers)
These garments give protection against wind, and rain, and some protection against
splashing from liquids. The clothing will offer a degree of protection if the wearer
is inadvertently exposed to a fire situation.
The garment shall be manufactured from approved materials.
Note: Personnel employed in the production of hydrocarbons – including drilling
operations – should be issued with a jacket and over-trousers.
7.5.4 Chemical Handling (Protective Clothing)
Personnel handling bulk chemicals may require whole body protection against
splashes. If necessary, they shall wear impervious suits or aprons.

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02

All types of body protective clothing and equipment must be maintained in good
condition and checked regularly. It must be repaired or discarded if damaged.
General purpose coveralls should be regularly laundered to prevent irritation
and the spread of skin infections
7.6 Hearing Protection

7.6.1 General Duties
Hearing conversation programs should be established in all locations where
employees are exposed to noise levels above 85 dB(A) for 8 hours.
It is necessary to take special precautions to prevent damage to hearing by
exposure to excessive or prolonged noise.
Wear hearing protection in all areas where noise levels exceed 85 dB(A) for an 8-
hour shift shall be designated as Hearing Protection Areas.
No exposure to continuous or intermittent noise levels in excess of 115dB is
allowed.
It is quite common for people to use the “one and two meter” rules to indicate
whether there is a potential noise problem.
 Two-meter rule : If you have to raise your voice (or repeat yourself to
someone who is standing two meters away) then the noise level is likely to
be above 85dB.
 One-meter rule : If speech is difficult at a distance of just one meter then the
noise level could be 90dB or more.
7.6.2 Noise Exposure Dose
To find the average amount of exposure, a person can be subjected to in a period of
time, the time weighted average (TWA) is used, based on an 8-hour shift.
Noise exposure should be reduced to as low as reasonably practicable. Everyone
entering a designated hearing protection area must wear suitable hearing
protection.
7.6.3 Types of Hearing Protection
There are three basic types of hearing protection which are widely used:
 Aural insert protectors (earplugs)

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
Earplugs fit into the ear canal. For them to be effective they must be properly
inserted. If the plugs are of the disposable type, they must be disposed of every
time they are removed.
Non-disposable earplugs must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they do not cause
a possible ear infection, both bacterial and fungal. Earplugs worn by one person
must never be worn by another.
 Semi-aural protectors (canal caps).
 Circum-aural protectors (earmuffs).
Earmuffs can be worn independently or as attachments to a hard hat in addition to
earplugs. If the workers worn properly, earmuffs can reduce the noise exposure by
15~25 dB.
Ear plugs are intended to be disposable and although they can be cleaned and
reused, it is not recommended.
Ear muffs must be regularly examined for signs of damage or deterioration to the
shells, linings and headband, and defective parts replaced. Regular cleaning of the
contact seals with a damp cloth will prevent discomfort and ear infection. Ear
muffs should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use.
7.7 Respiratory Protection

7.7.1 Introduction
Personnel may be exposed to harmful vapors, dust and other airborne contaminants
by the design or operating procedures of the worksite, in these circumstances it
will be necessary to provide Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) to personnel.
This will be identified as one or more of the control measures after conducting a
task risk assessment (Material Safety Data Sheet).
It will be necessary to correctly identify the respiratory hazards, smokes, the
product of combustion, dust, abrasion material, liquids, gases, vapors from
chemicals, solvents, etc. The concentration and combination of the harmful
substances should be assessed for their degree of toxicity. Advice the selection of
RPE for particular applications can be sought from HSE Section.
Prior to the selection of suitable RPE, due consideration should be given to
potential face-fit problems, including the wearing of facial hair. Full beards are not
permitted for staff that may be required to wear respiratory protection during their
normal working day, in particular, self contained breathing apparatus for fire
fighting, rescue or H2S escape.

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
Respiratory protection may be required for normal working conditions or

emergency conditions and fall into two general categories:
 Those providing air which must pass through a filtering mechanism
(referred to as filter respirators).
 Those providing an air supply from an uncontaminated source
(referred to as breathing apparatus).
Note: It is important to remember that filtration respirators are unsuitable for
atmospheres which are deficient in oxygen.
7.7.2 Dust and Fumes (Filter Respirators)
Respirators range in type from a simple disposable dust mask to a high
performance full-face mask with filters suitable for organic vapor, acid gas and
dust.
It must be emphasized that respirators are only designed to afford protection
against relatively low concentrations of toxic substances, and if there is a doubt as
to correct level of protection that is required, then the higher level of protection
will be selected Where doubt arises, advice should be obtained from the HSE
Department.
Filter respirators are defined as following international standards (NIOSH, EN)
 NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) standards
define the following categories of particulate filters
Oil resistance Rating Description
N95 Filters at least 95% of airborne particles
Not oil resistant N99 Filters at least 99% of airborne particles
N100 Filters at least 99.97% of airborne particles
R95 Filters at least 95% of airborne particles
Oil resistant R99 Filters at least 99% of airborne particles
R100 Filters at least 99.97% of airborne particles
P95 Filters at least 95% of airborne particles
Oil proof P99 Filters at least 99% of airborne particles
P100 Filters at least 99.97% of airborne particles
 European standard EN 143 defines the following classes of particle filters

that can be attached to a face mask:

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
Class Filter penetration limit (at 95 L/min air flow)

P3 Filters at least 99.95% of airborne particles
 European standard EN 149 defines the following classes of “filtering half

masks”(also called “filtering face pieces”), that is respirators that are
entirely or substantially constructed of filtering material:
Class Filter penetration limit (at 95L/min air Inward leakage
flow)
FFP1 Filters at least 80% of airborne particles <22%
7.7.3 Oxygen Deficiency (Breathing Apparatus)
Where the level of airborne contaminants is beyond the filtration capability of a
respirator, or where there is an oxygen deficiency, then breathing apparatus (BA)
must be used.
Where exposure cannot be identified or reasonably estimated, the atmosphere shall
be considered Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH). All oxygen-
deficient atmospheres (less than 19.5 O2 by volume) shall be considered IDLH. If
the employer can demonstrate that, under all foreseeable conditions, oxygen levels
in the work area can be maintained within the rages between 19.5% and a lower
value that corresponds to an altitude-adjusted oxygen partial pressure equivalent to
16% oxygen at sea level), then any atmosphere supplying respirator may be used.
1) Quality of Air
The need to ensure continued provision of good quality breathing air relies on
maintaining BA set compressors in good condition e.g. by regularly changing air
filters and maintenance of dryers, backed up by periodical analysis of the breathing
air supply. A simple operator's check on the quality of air is to smell the delivered
air to detect any offensive odour, and to pass the air gently through a pad of white
tissues or filter papers and note any discoloration or wetness.
2) Air-line Masks
These masks, either full face or half-mask (ori-nasal mask) enable the wearer to
work for long periods in harmful atmospheres, whilst breathing air is supplied by
one of the following systems:
 Battery of compressed air bottles.
PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
 Portable air compressors fitted with reservoir air tanks.

 Connections to the air-line mask hose made via instantaneous bayonet
spring couplings. These couplings must be kept in good condition and not
used for any purpose other that supplying air to breathing apparatus. A belt
should be worn to clip the air-line to this to prevent stress on the face piece.
 Where no compressed air bottle supply is available, portable air compressors
which have reservoir air tank may be used. Every system of air supply
employed should incorporate a receiver of sufficient capacity to enable
persons to escape from an un-breathable atmosphere in the event of a failure
of the prime mover supplying the air. The air must be passed through
suitable filters to remove excess moisture and oil mist. To ensure that an
adequate supply of air is available and being received by the wearers, a
responsible person must be appointed to check the pressure in the air
receiver, and to ensure the filters are functioning properly.
Note: Portable air compressors may only be used when sited in an unpolluted
atmosphere.
3) Self-contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
 These sets are provided for emergency use where a portable supply of air is
required for a short period of time.
 The air for this apparatus is supplied under pressure either from compressed
air cylinders carried by wearer, or from trolley sets.
 Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) shall be located in the control
room and at strategic points within hazardous areas. The apparatus is housed
in easily distinguishable boxes, or in wall-mounted containers, painted
green.
 SCBA shall be inspected and the air pressure checked on a weekly basis,
where practicable (inspection, minimum of once a month). Minimum
acceptable pressures are specified, depending on the type of equipment
being used. The checks shall be recorded and faults reported to the HSE
Department. These checks are in addition to specified maintenance
schedules.
 After use, a breathing apparatus set shall be serviced and fitted with a fully-
charged cylinder before being re-sited. The servicing shall include the
cleaning and decontamination of the face piece.
 All persons required to use breathing apparatus must receive initial training
and refresher training at intervals not exceeding 6 months. The training shall
be recorded.

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
7.8 Fall Protection

Use equipment to reduce personal injury when crew may be exposed to:
 A fall of 2 meters.
 Work over the side.
 Work on a vent stack.
 Work in enclosed areas of oxygen deficiency/contamination.
The equipment is to consist of:
 Full body harness.
 Shock absorbing lanyards or approved equipment.
Connecting hook.
 The label should indicate the year and standard of manufacture.
7.8.1 Full Body Harness
Waist belts (body belts) and chest harnesses shall not be used as fall protection
device in any DECN project.
Fall-arrest equipment requires a Full Body Harness. Such a harness incorporates
buttock straps designed to absorb the forces on a falling person. Use a harness in
conjunction with shock-absorbing (deceleration) equipment.
7.8.2 Types of Shock-Absorbing Equipment
A lanyard from the harness incorporating a shock-absorbing or break-out device
must be attached to a secure anchorage point. The maximum length of the lanyard
is 1.8 meters including any connecting hooks.
Shock-absorbing equipment of the dynamic type (e.g. inertia reel) must be directly
attached to the body harness, the other end being secured to a suitable anchor
point.
7.8.3 Connecting Hook
The connecting hook or shackle used in conjunction with the fall-arrest equipment
requires to be of an auto-locking or double action type.
Rope grab : A deceleration device which travels on a lifeline and automatically
frictionally engages the lifeline and locks so as to arrest the fall of an employee. A
rope grab usually employs the principle of inertial locking, cam/lever locking, or
both.
7.8.4 Emergency Life Line

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
When the a life line is used for confined space work, pre-arranged signals shall be
used with the member outside the hazardous area (refer to Table below)
SIGNAL ON LINE GIVEN BY WEARER GIVEN BY ATTENDANT
1 pull I am all right. Are you all right.
2 pulls Pay out more line. I am paying out more line.
Stop lowering or paying I am stopping, lowering or

Repeated sharp pulls Danger help me out. Danger come out at once.
Table - Prearranged Safety Signals
7. SELECTION OF PPE
Before selecting an item of PPE, an assessment should be undertaken which should
be carried out along the following lines:
 Identification of the risk with respect to a job or particular circumstances.
 Characteristics and standards of the proposed PPE.
 Comparison between (a) and (b) to establish the suitability of the equipment
for the risks involved and for the personal characteristics of the use.
8.1. Compatibility
Ensure that where a combination of PPE is to be worn, the items are compatible
and do not interfere with the effective use of the other items of PPE.
8.2. Primary Assessment

In many cases, the assessment will be simple and obvious, and an initial
assessment of equipment suitable for a particular risk, or group risks, will be
sufficient.
8.3. Secondary Assessment

In more complex cases, however, an assessment shall be performed by an
individual with a thorough knowledge of the risks involved in a particular task.
The results of the assessment will require to be recorded, and information made

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
readily available to others who may be involved in the selection of appropriate

protective equipment to match particular jobs.
8. STANDARDS / MAINTENANCE & STORAGE OF PPE

9.1 Minimum Standards
Protective clothing shall be issued which is suitable for an individual site. As a
minimum when on a production, process, construction or drilling worksite,
personnel would normally be required to wear safety helmet, coveralls and safety
boots.
Personnel, who work inside e.g. in galleys or kitchens, cleaning accommodation, in
workshops or maintaining office equipment etc., must also be provided with
suitable PPE. Local rules will state the areas in which this equipment is required to
be worn. Shorts and other similar sportswear should not be worn at operational
sites.
The minimum standards set by the Client for protective clothing or equipment shall
apply, as appropriate, to all persons on site, including visitors and contractor's
personnel. PPE shall comply with relevant standards.
9.2 Maintenance of PPE

PPE must be maintained in an efficient state. The level of inspection or
maintenance with respect to PPE will be determined by the type of equipment used
and the conditions in which it is used.
With simple equipment, an inspection by the user immediately before use may
suffice, and maintenance may be in the form of cleaning or laundering, with the
item being replaced when worn out.
Protective clothing and equipment should be used properly, and any defects in the
equipment shall be reported to the supervisor. Do not wear clothing or equipment
that is contaminated (e.g. oil, grease or other substances), return it for cleaning or
replacement.
Where appropriate, a record of inspection and maintenance will be necessary, and
manufacturer's maintenance schedules should be followed.
9.3 Storage of PPE

PPE must be stored correctly. DECN shall make appropriate arrangements for the
storage of PPE:

PPE Management
Doc. No. NHX-HSE-02
 The storage shall be adequate to protect the equipment from damage or

contamination.
 Items of PPE shall be adequate to protect the equipment from damage or
contamination.
9. TRAINING IN THE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PPE

Those involved in the use of PPE shall be given suitable instruction and training in
the use of particular equipment as follows:
 'Everyday' equipment which is simple to use will require only basic
instructions.
 Personnel involvement in the use, maintenance, repairs or testing of more
complex equipment will require formal training, and such training may be
both theoretical and practical. In such cases, refresher training may be
required, as an appropriate, and records of training details should be kept.
