SECTION 5 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT 05.A GENERAL
05.A.01 Responsibilities.
a. The use of PPE is a control measure that is to be used only after a hazard evaluation identifies hazards associated with a particular job or activity, and it is determined that the hazards cannot be eliminated and/or controlled to an acceptable level through engineering design or administrative actions. Utilize process and engineering controls before PPE to protect employees. The hazard assessment has been performed through a written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated; the person certifying that the evaluation has been performed; the date(s) of the hazard assessment; and, which identifies the document as a certification of hazard assessment.
b. Based on hazard evaluations the Project Safety Manager will identity and select, and each affected employee will use, PPE and safety equipment that will provide appropriate protection.
c. The Project Safety Manager will communicate PPE and safety equipment decisions to each affected employee. Employees will use all PPE and safety equipment that may be required to maintain their exposure within acceptable limits.
d. The Project Safety Manager will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate employees with religious beliefs that may conflict with determined PPE requirements. However, when reasonable efforts to accommodate employee’s religious beliefs do not provide the necessary safe working environment (without PPE), then the employee must use the appropriate PPE or the employee will not be allowed to work in the area where the hazard requiring protection exists.
05.A.02 Employees will be appropriately trained in the use and care of all required PPE and safety equipment.
a. Employees will be trained in and will demonstrate an understanding of the following aspects of PPE prior to use: selection (for specific hazard); donning, doffing and adjusting; limitations and useful life; inspection and testing; and proper care including maintenance, storage and disposal.
b. When the Project Safety Manager has reason to believe that any affected employee who has been trained does not have the understanding and skill required for the use of the PPE, the Project Safety Manager will make certain that the employee receives the necessary re-training to acquire the appropriate skills.
c. The Project Safety Manager will verify through written certification that each affected employee has received and understood the required training. The written certification will identify the name of each employee trained, the date(s) of the training, and the subjects taught.

05.A.03 A copy of the manufacturer's use, inspection, testing, and maintenance instructions will be maintained with the PPE and safety equipment.
05.A.04 Personal protective and safety equipment will be tested, inspected, and maintained in a serviceable and sanitary condition as recommended by the manufacturer.
a. Defective or damaged equipment will not be used. It will be tagged as out of service and/or immediately removed from the work site to prevent use.
b. Previously used PPE must be cleaned, disinfected, inspected, and repaired as necessary before issuing to another employee.
05.A.05 When employees provide their own safety equipment or PPE, the Project Safety Manager is responsible for assuring its adequacy in protecting against the hazard and its state of repair.
05.A.06 Minimum requirements.
a. Employees will wear clothing suitable for the weather and work conditions. For fieldwork (for example, construction sites, industrial operations and maintenance activities, emergency operations, regulatory inspections, etc.), at a minimum, this will be:
1) Short sleeve shirt;
2) Long pants (excessively long or baggy pants are prohibited); and
3) Leather or other protective work shoes or boots.
b. Protective equipment will be of heat, fire, chemical, and/or electrical-resistive material when conditions require protection against such hazards.
05.A.07 Miners’ lights and flashlights used around explosives, and in atmospheres likely to contain explosive vapors, dusts, or gases will be approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) or National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for use in such locations.
05.A.08 Persons involved in activities that subject the hands to injury (for example, cuts, abrasions, punctures, burns, chemical irritants, toxins, vibration, and forces that can restrict blood flow) will select and use hand protection appropriate for the hazard in accordance with ANSI/International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) 105.
05.A09 Protective leg chaps will be worn by workers who operate chain saws. Protective leg chaps must meet the specifications in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F1897.
05.B EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
05.B.01 Persons will be provided with eye and face protection equipment, as outlined in Table 5-1, when machines or operations present potential eye or face injury from physical, chemical, or radiation agents.
Questions? Call First Time Quality 410-451-8006
a. Eye and face protection equipment will meet the requirements of ANSI/ American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Z87.1, and bear a legible and permanent "Z87" logo to indicate compliance with the standard.
b. Eye and face protection equipment will be distinctly marked to facilitate identification of the manufacturer.
c. Employees will use eye protection providing side protection.
05.B.02 When required by this regulation to wear eye protection, persons whose vision requires the use of corrective lenses in eyeglasses will be protected by one of the following:
a. Prescription safety glasses providing optical correction and equivalent protection;
b. Protective glasses with side shields designed to fit over corrective lenses without disturbing the adjustment of the glasses;
c. Goggles that can be worn over corrective lenses without disturbing the adjustment of the glasses, or
d. Goggles that incorporate corrective lenses mounted behind the protective lenses.
