2B Guided Notes

Eye/Face Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to the face and eyes during exposure to such hazards as flying particles, molten metal or sparks, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, or potentially injurious light radiation (i.e., lasers, welding, etc.)

Foot Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to the feet and toes during exposure to situations with the potential for foot injuries such as falling or rolling objects.

. Shoes that are specifically designed for use with electricity are often referred to as what insulated footwear

DIELECTRIC

Visual inspections of rubber gloves are used to look for defects such as:

EMBEDDED FOREIGN MATERIAL • DEEP SCRATCHES • PINHOLES AND PUNCTURES • SNAGS OR CUTS

. All employees are responsible for reading, understanding, and following the guidelines and procedures set forth in tool and

EQUIPMENT MANUALS.

Personal Fall Protection Equipment

form of protection which involves the use of equipment that prevents a worker from falling and/or protects a worker once they have fallen.

don

to put on PPE

doff

to remove PPE

OSHA Hazard Assessment Requirements include the following

• BEFORE ANY WORK BEGINS, ANALYSIS OF WORKSITE CONDITIONS THAT COULD AFFECT SAFETY. • ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO EYES, FACE, HEAD, FEET, AND HANDS AND THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) NEEDED FOR A TASK

Hearing Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to an individual's hearing during exposure to high noise levels.

Identify the following types of fire by what they burn:

A ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES (paper, wood, cloth, rubber, most plastics) • B FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (oils, gasoline, grease solvents, lacquers) • C ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT/ELECTRICAL FIRES (electrical sources still supplied • with power) • K COOKING OILS (vegetable or animal oils and fats)

gloves used for general‐purpose hand protection offering slip‐resistant qualities.

COATED FABRIC

Devices with adjustable features should be fitted on an individual basis to provide a

COMFORTABLE FIT MAINTAINS THE DEVICE IN THE PROPER POSITION.

Hand Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to the hands during exposure to potential hazards such as sharp objects, abrasive surfaces, temperature extremes, and chemical contact. Hand protection is selected based on the hazard and performance characteristics of the gloves.

Head Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to the head during exposure to potential hazards such as falling objects, striking against low hanging objects, or electrical hazards.

Respiratory Protection

Equipment designed to provide protection to the wearer from potential inhalation hazards such as vapors, mists, particulates, and gases.

gloves protect against dirt, slivers, chafing, and abrasions

FABRIC

what are intended to protect the entire face or portions of it from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles, and should be used in combination with safety glasses or goggles

FACE SHIELDS

Three types of fall protection equipment includes:

FALL ARREST EQUIPMENT is intended to catch the user in the event of a fall. • WORK POSITIONING EQUIPMENT includes equipment such as repelling equipment that allows workers to be suspended from ropes to gain access to their place of work. • TRAVEL RESTRICTING or FALL RESTRICTING EQUIPMENT is intended to prevent falls by anchoring a worker in a position to keep him away from the edge of a work surface to prevent accidental falls.

Safety glasses are intended to shield the wearer's eyes from eye hazards from:

FLYING FRAGMENTS • OBJECTS • LARGE CHIPS AND PARTICLES • GLARE

A what is worn when a potential for head injury from impact and penetration from falling objects or an electric shock or arc hazard exists.

HARD HAT

A respirator is a protective face piece, hood, or helmet that is designed to protect the wearer against a variety of

HARMFUL AIRBORNE AGENTS

Three examples of fall protection equipment includes

HARNESS • LANYARD • BRAKING MECHANISMS

What must be provided to all workers exposed to 8‐hour TWA noise levels of 85 dB or above.

HEARING PROTECTION

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Includes all equipment designed to provide protection to the wearer from potential hazards to the eyes, face, hands, head, feet, ears, and extremities.

gloves provide protection against cuts and burns.

LEATHER, CANVAS, OR METAL MESH

The PASS acronym for safe fire extinguisher use stands for:

P ‐ PULL THE PIN • A ‐ AIM AT THE BASE OF THE FIRE • S ‐ SQUEEZE THE HANDLE • S ‐ SWEEP FROM SIDE TO SIDE

Air‐Purifying Respirators are of the following designs:

PARTICULATE: These respirators capture particles in the air, such as dusts, mists, and fumes, but do not protect against gases or vapors. • COMBINATION: This respirator is effective against particles, gases, and vapors because it contains both particulate and gas/vapor filters. • GAS AND VAPOR: When there are hazardous gases and vapors in the air, this respirator is used. It utilizes cartridges or canisters to remove these contaminants.

Flaggers must wear high‐visibility fluorescent clothing such as a vest made with what to provide additional worker visibility.

REFLECTIVE MATERIAL

What are used to protect against electricity with moderately high voltage.

RUBBER INSULATING GLOVES

Employees should wear flame‐retardant clothing when there is risk of an arc because electric arcs can cause

SEVERE BURNS.

Three types of hearing protection include:

SINGLE‐USE EARPLUGS are made of waxed cotton, foam, silicone rubber, or fiberglass wool. • PRE‐FORMED OR MOLDED EARPLUGS must be individually fitted by a professional and can be disposable or reusable. • EARMUFFS require a perfect seal around the ear.

Identify the ANSI class of hard hats described below

TYPE I Protection from blows to top of head; • TYPE II Protection from blows to top/sides of head; • CLASS E (electrical) tested to withstand 20,000 volts; • CLASS G (general) tested at 2,200 volts; and • CLASS C (conductive) provides no electrical protection

ANSI

The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States.

NIOSH

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is the federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness.

OSHA

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is an agency of the United States Department of Labor whose mission is to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths by issuing and enforcing standards for workplace safety and health.

Hazard Assessment

The process utilized to identify hazards in the workplace and to select the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to guard people against potential hazards.

thermal burns

Tissue injury, usually of the skin, caused by exposure to extreme heat.

Examples of chemical‐resistant gloves include:

• BUTYL GLOVES are made of a synthetic rubber and protect against a wide variety of chemicals, such as peroxide, rocket fuels, highly corrosive acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and red‐fuming nitric acid), strong bases, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and nitro compounds. • NATURAL (LATEX) RUBBER GLOVES feature outstanding tensile strength, elasticity, and temperature resistance. In addition to resisting abrasions caused by grinding and polishing, these gloves protect workers' hands from most water solutions of acids, alkalis, salts, and ketones. • NEOPRENE GLOVES offer good pliability, finger dexterity, high density, and tear resistance. They protect against hydraulic fluids, gasoline, alcohols, organic acids, and alkalis. • NITRILE GLOVES provide protection from chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene.

Two types of electrical hazards are:

• CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE PERSON'S BODY • EXPOSURE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE ELECTRICAL ARC
