KNOW HOW TO USE AND MAINTAIN YOUR

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

LEARN TO DRESS FOR A DANGER

Why you need PPE?
To protect you from major injury or
save you completely

To what extent it can help you

It works as a barrier between hazard
and you. It takes first blow and save
you from major injury but depending
upon the severity of incident it can
even save you completely.
There are many types of PPE
but every one working in the
plant are supposed to be
wearing minimum PPE shall be
Helmet
Safety shoes
& work specific requirement
 Classification of PPE
PPE are classified into two broad groups :
· Non Respiratory
· Respiratory
Non-Respiratory PPE
Personal Protective Equipments for various
parts of the body can be divided into the
six broad groups:-
– Head protection
– Eye protection
– Hand & Arm Protection
– Foot & Leg Protection
– Skin/ Body Protection
– Ear Protection
Special Protection:
Full body harness
HEAD PROTECTION
HELMETS
• Helmets are made from hard
material like FRP HDPE or metal.
• It is provided with replaceable
head band

• Helmet brim protects face, ear &

eyes.
• Resist penetration,
• It absorbs shock. & Blow
 EYES

THE BEST SOURCE OF ACQUIRING

KNOWLEDGE : PROTECT THEM

Potential eyes injuries are caused by :

 Dust & other flying objects.

 Molten metal splash.
 Acid vapour, smoke, gases,
fumes etc
 Intense light rays, such as
created by welding arcs,
lasers and radiation.
 EYE PROTECTION
•GAS WELDING & CUTTING
Wear eyecups coverspec goggles with tinted glasses
•MACHINING
Wear safety goggles with side shields or cover goggles.
•GRINDING
Wear flexible-fitting or rigid body goggles.
•CUTTING
Wear plastic face shield and safety glasses.
•HANDLING MOLTEN METALS
Use goggles or spectacles along with hood or helmet.
• ARC WELDING
Wear plastic/fiber hand/head screen with the specific shade of
glass.
•CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Wear right type of eye protection against splashes, fumes, dusts,
vapors and burns encountered during chemical handling. All Glasses
and frames should meet standards.
 EYE PROTECTORS

Eyes protectors for specific hazards should be comfortable

to wear, not restrict vision or movements, must be
durable, easy to clean & disinfect. They should not
interfere with functions of other protective equipment.

Proper Care :
Clean eye protectors frequently to avoid over strain.
Cleaning will also prolong life of glasses. Rinse dirt & grit
before using glasses. Replace broken glasses immediately.
FACE PROTECTIVE GEARS

These shields protect face from splashes of

Chemicals, hot liquids, molten metals, flying
particles while grinding, chipping and rays
emitted during welding and cutting operations.
 CHEMICAL BURNS
First-aid for chemical burns involves
nonstop flooding of the affected
eye(s) with low-pressure water for
15 minutes while eyelid is held open.
Flooding should be started
immediately to dilute or remove the
chemical.
An eyewash fountain is best, but any
available source of water may be
used, including a drinking fountain,
hose (at low pressure) or any clean
container. Pour water onto bridge of
nose (not directly onto eyeball)
while injured holds head back.

GET MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.

 HAND PROTECTION

 BODY PROTECTION
Vests, Jackets, Aprons, Overalls, Surgical gowns,
Fullbody suits etc. They are made from leather,
clothing, treated cotton, rubber and plastic coated
clothing, aluminized fabric etc. They are made of
such material which will protect against specific
hazard in your work place.

HANDLING CHEMICALS
Use a special hood made of rubber, neoprene or
plastic impregnated fabric with a sealed-window
lenses.
An air-supplied hood may be suitable where toxic
dust, fumes and vapours are present.

Flame retardant suit

protection. They are of silver coated with flame
protecting coating and inside lining of woolen cloth.
CARE
Inspect clothes carefully.
Ensure proper fit.
Make sure they protect you properly.
 BODY PROTECTION

protection.
PVC Apron Suitable for the job in which acid/alkali &
chemical splashing may occur.
PVC three piece For acid /alkali & other chemical
suit handling.
Cooling Vest For protection from radiation heat /
Furnace operation
Aluminized fibre For protection from flash fire / during
glass suit fire fighting

Nomex suit For protection from flashover /

intense heat
 FEET PROTECTION
Some potential hazards are :-
1. Heavy objects such as barrels or tools might roll
onto or fall on feet.
2. Bales, spikes that might pierce the soles or rubber
sleeper (hawai chappals).
3. Molten metal might splash on the feet.
4. Slippery surface or hot surface can damage feet.

SAFETY SHOES
Impact resistant steel toe and leather soles protect
toes against falling objects, tiring/sharp object and
heat resistant shoes protect against heat from hot
surfaces.
Toe Guards
Made of aluminum, steel, fibre or plastic. They are
strapped out side the shoes for impact resistance.
Leggings
Prevent lower legs and feet from exposure to hot
materials like welding sparks, molten metal etc.
GUM BOOTS
Exposure to wet environment or corrosive
chemicals.
 EAR PROTECTION
NOISE : undesired, unwanted sound
• Occupational hearing loss and health hazard leading to deafness.
• It is unpleasant to ears and cause irritation.
• It causes stress, interference in concentration, communication,
warning signals and chronic health problems.
• Temporary hearing loss, if exposure is short.
• Permanent hearing loss, if exposure is for a long period
• TRAUMATIC HEARING LOSS May be caused by sudden, single.
exposure to extremely high, loud noise

NOISE DEFENDERS ARE BESTTO SAVE HEARING

LOSS
Reusable plastic
Foam earplugs
 SPECIAL HAZARDS
FALLS PROTECTION FROM HEIGHT
Falling from height can kill or make serious injuries to you.
SAFETY BELTS

For work at heights of more than 2m.This will help to absorb the
sudden shock when person falls down.
• DOUBLE LIFE LINE SAFETY BELT (FULL BODY HARNESS)
For work at heights of more than 2m. This is to be used when the
person is moving from one place to another, keeping one lifeline
anchored so that he remains safe while moving
• LIFE LINE SAFETY BELT / LENYARD (30 FT.)
For rescue operation. For vessel entry. To be used for rescue of the
personnel.

MAINTENANCE OF SAFETY BELTS

• Check wear & tear.
• Use approved method for impact load testing.
RESPIRATORY PRTECTION
POTENTIAL RESPIRATORY HAZARDS

GASES AND VAPOURS

The air around us may be polluted by many harmful gases and vapours,
such as, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, ammonia etc. which are
dangerous and toxic and can affect ones breath and lungs.
LESS OXYGEN Air contains 21% oxygen but due to some
circumstances oxygen is depleted. Oxygen also is displaced by heavy
gases or becomes less due to spoilage in fruits storage areas by the
generation of other gases.
DUST IN AIR In Workshop, dust is common in atmosphere during
operations like grinding, milling, crushing, drilling, sanding and blasting
which is harmful.
SMOKE AND FUMES Some operations like welding, melting, smelting,
burning can create invisible pollution which affects breathing.
SPRAYING Paint spraying or metal cleaning operation can create
hazardous mists due to chemical reaction which is harmful.
