PPE Hazard Assessment
• Identify the type of
skin contact
– Immersion
– Spray
– Splashp
– Mist
– Vapor (gaseous)
• Consider the
exposure time
– Incidental contact
– Continuous immersion
– Unknown/emergency
response
Exercise
• List one work activity at your plant that uses PPE
• What is the hazard?
• What is the route of exposure? Inhalation, skin,
eyes, or ?
• Are there ways to control exposure to this hazard
other than PPE?
– What other ways?
Training

to benzene is 15 ppm. The exposure limit is
0.5 ppm (ACGIH TLV). What respirator should
you choose?
Maximum Use Concentration (MUC) = APF x OEL
Half Face Mask: MUC = 10 x 0.5 ppm = 5 ppm
PAPR (LFF): MUC = 25 x 0.5 ppm = 12.5 ppm

– Oxygen content = 19.5 - 23.5%
– Hydrocarbon (condensed) = 5 milligrams/cubic meter or
lessless

– CO2 of 1,000 parts per million (ppm) or less
– Lack of noticeable odor
• Compressors may be equipped with in-line
air-purifying sorbent beds and filters.
Maintenance and Storage
Procedures
• Disposable filtering face-piece:
– Dispose after use
• Air purifying respirators:
– Discard cartridges based on expiration date, end-of-
service life indicator or calculated service life
– Clean
– Dry
– Place in sealable bag (write your name on bag)
– Contact Safety Office for repairs
• SCBA:
– Inspected monthly
– Accessible and clearly marked
Exercise
• A contractor has been hired to sweep out a work
area that contains lead dust. The plant safety
officer has recommended that the worker don a
full-face air purifying respirator with a HEPA filter
(P100) during this activity.( ) g y
• Later that week the plant safety officer observes
the worker sweeping without wearing the
respirator. When asked why he is not wearing the
respirator, the worker states “it is too
uncomfortable to wear.”
• What approach should the safety officer take to
ensure the worker wears a respirator?
PPE Exercise
• Worker A needs to transfer 10 liters of acetone
into a hazardous waste drum.
• The safety officer has determined that due to the
use of ventilation, the air concentration of
acetone is below the exposure limitacetone is below the exposure limit.
• The worker may have incidental skin contact with
the acetone during pouring.
• Prolonged skin exposure to acetone causes dry
and cracked skin, but acetone is not normally
absorbed through the skin.
• There is also a possibility that the acetone may
splash in the worker’s face during pouring.
PPE Exercise
• Worker B is walking back from the break room
when he notices a yellow cloud of chlorine
coming towards him from the chlorine storage
area. He also notices that some of the chlorine
has come into contact with water under one of
the tanks and formed chlorine hydrate.
• He alerts the emergency response team who
arrive at the emergency staging area.
– Chlorine is a corrosive and toxic gas by inhalation.
– Chlorine hydrate is corrosive to the skin and eyes.
– The airborne concentration of chlorine is unknown in
this situation.
What PPE should the emergency response team use?
PPE Exercise
• Worker C is tasked with adding zinc oxide
pigment into a mixing bath by hand.
• This task will take 15 minutes.
• Worker C performs this task once every day.
• The safety officer has determined that the• The safety officer has determined that the
airborne concentration during this task is 20
milligrams/cubic meter.
• The short term exposure limit (15 minutes) for
zinc oxide is 10 milligrams/cubic meter .
• Zinc oxide powder is mildly irritating to the skin
and eyes, but not toxic or corrosive.
What PPE should Worker C wear?

The plant safety officer has recommended that the worker don a full-face air purifying respirator with a HEPA filter (P100) during this activity.( ) g y • Later that week the plant safety officer observes the worker sweeping without wearing the respirator. When asked why he is not wearing the respirator, the worker states “it is too uncomfortable to wear.” • What approach should the safety officer take to ensure the worker wears a respirator? PPE Exercise • Worker A needs to transfer 10 liters of acetone into a hazardous waste drum. • The safety officer has determined that due to the use of ventilation, the air concentration of acetone is below the exposure limitacetone is below the exposure limit. • The worker may have incidental skin contact with the acetone during pouring. • Prolonged skin exposure to acetone causes dry and cracked skin, but acetone is not normally absorbed through the skin. • There is also a possibility that the acetone may splash in the worker’s face during pouring. PPE Exercise • Worker B is walking back from the break room when he notices a yellow cloud of chlorine coming towards him from the chlorine storage area. He also notices that some of the chlorine has come into contact with water under one of the tanks and formed chlorine hydrate. • He alerts the emergency response team who arrive at the emergency staging area. – Chlorine is a corrosive and toxic gas by inhalation. – Chlorine hydrate is corrosive to the skin and eyes. – The airborne concentration of chlorine is unknown in this situation.
