PPE Training

1. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)

2. 2
Definition
PPE means all equipments and clothing worn or
held by a person at work, which affords protection
against one or more risks to health or safety.
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.
This is your last line of defense

3. 3

13. 13
Head Protection
To protect the wearer against
head injuries caused by falling
objects, blows or other impacts.
The helmet gives some
protection against splashing by
liquids. It should be
manufactured from plastics.
Helmets are required to be
replaced if subjected to severe
impact.
The use of paint (aerosol type)
and certain adhesive stickers
may affect the integrity of the
helmet and should not be
allowed.

14. 14
Head Protection
Metal safety helmets shall not
be worn.
Air Supplied Helmetsshould 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

15. 15
Eye and Face Protection
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 in close confines of
plant or equipment.
Eye protection shall be worn in
specific areas, or for specific
activities, in all indoor and outdoor
operational sites.
Welding operations require special
eye, face and neck protection for
the operator.

16. 16
Eye and Face Protection
•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 HSE section.
•Full-view goggles/face shields
may be required and they
should be suitable for dust or
chemical protection.

17. 17
Eye and Face Protection
Check your Safety
glass / goggles
•Are the glasses/goggles
offer protection against
specific exposure?
•Do they distort vision?
•Do they limit peripheral
(side) vision?
•Are there gaps between
side shields and face
which might allow
particles to enter eyes?

18. 18
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,
potentially hazardous areas such as
construction sites, workshops, process
areas, etc. must wear safety footwear
at all times while in the area.

19. 19
Foot Protection
Check your Safety footwear
does the footwear offer
protection against specific
occupational exposure, such
as;
Temperature variation
Slippery surfaces
Punctures
Chemical exposure
Direct impact on the toe?

20. 20
Hand Protection
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 cleaned (if
applicable) according to
manufacturer's instructions (i.e.
repeated washing may remove
fungal and bacterial inhibitors from
the lining of the glove, possibly
leading to skin irritation).

21. 21
Hearing Protection
Hearing conversation programs
should be established in all locations
where employees are exposed to
noise levels above 85dBA 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 85dBA for
an 8-hour shift shall be designated as
Hearing Protection Areas.
No exposure to continuous or
intermittent noise levels in excess of
115dBA is allowed.

22. 22
Body Protection
Coveralls give protection to the
wearer against general dirt
The garments shall be
manufactured from approved
materials.
The coveralls should be of color
that is easily seen, namely orange
yellow or red (offshore). If dark
color material is used, a light-
reflective strip should be
incorporated across the shoulders
of the garment.
These garments give protection
against wind, and rain, and some
protection against splashing from
liquids.

23. 23
Body Protection
A coverall that offer a
degree of protection in fire
shall be used if the wearer
is exposed to a welding or
cutting activities.
For Chemical Handling
(Protective Clothing)
Personnel handling bulk
chemicals may require
whole body protection
against splashes. If
necessary, they shall
wear impervious suits or
aprons.

24. 24
Fall protection
Use equipment to reduce personal
injury when crew may be exposed
to:
A fall of 1.8 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 lanyard or
approved equipment.
Connecting hook.
The label should indicate the year
and standard of manufacturer.

25. 25
Full Body Harness with Two lanyard
Used during works performed on an
unprotected work location at
elevations higher than 1.8 meters
above the ground
Lanyard must be securedto a
suitable anchorage point that is
capable of supporting an impact load of
2,500Kg
Prior to use, make sure that fall
protection equipment is in good
operating condition

“And the end is that the workman shall live to enjoy
the fruit of his labor;
That his wife shall not be untimely a widow;
That his children shall have a father, and that
cripples and hopeless workers who were once
strong men, shall no longer be a by-product of
industry .”
