7. TYPES

8. HELMET
Protective hats for head protection
against impact blows must be able to
withstand penetration and absorb the
shock of a blow. In some cases, hats
should also protect against electric
shock.

9. SKIN PROTECTION
 Suitable eye & face protectors must be
provided where there is a potential for
injury to the eyes or face from flying
particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals,
acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or
vapors, potentially injurious light radiation,
or a combination of these.

10. PROPERTIES OF EYE/FACE
PROTECTOR
Provide adequate protection against the particular
hazards for which they are designed
Be reasonably comfortable when worn under the
designated conditions
Fit snugly without interfering with the movements or
vision of the wearer
Be durable
Be capable of being disinfected
Be easily cleanable
Be kept clean and in good repair.

11. GLOVES
Burns, cuts, electrical shock,
amputation and absorption of
chemicals are examples of
hazards associated with arm and
hand injuries. A wide assortment
of gloves, hand pads, sleeves,
and wristlets for protection from
these hazards is available.
 Keep gloved hands away from the
face.
 Avoid touching or adjusting other
PPE.
 Remove gloves if they become
torn; perform hand hygiene before
donning new gloves.
 Limit surfaces and items touched.

12. TYPES OF GLOVES
• Padded cloth gloves
 protect your hands from sharp edges,
slivers, dirt and vibration
• Heat resistant gloves
 protect your hands from heat and
flames
• Latex disposable
gloves
 protect your hands from germs and
bacteria
• Lead-lined gloves
 protect your hands against radiation
sources

13. SAFETY SHOES
 For protection of feet and legs from
falling or rolling objects, sharp objects,
molten metal, hot surfaces, and wet
slippery surfaces, workers should use
appropriate footguards, safety shoes, or
boots and leggings. Leggings protect
the lower leg and feet from molten metal
or welding sparks. Safety snaps permit
their rapid removal.

14. TYPES OF SAFETY SHOES
• PVC footwear
 protects your feet against moisture and
improves traction
• Butyl footwear
 protects against most ketones, aldehydes,
alcohols, acids, salts & alkalis
• Vinyl footwear
 resists solvents, acids, alkalis, salts, water,
grease & blood
• Nitrile footwear
 resists animal fats, oils, and chemicals
• PVC footwear
 protects your feet against moisture and
improves traction
• Butyl footwear
 protects against most ketones, aldehydes,
alcohols, acids, salts & alkalis
• Vinyl footwear
 resists solvents, acids, alkalis, salts, water,
grease & blood
• Nitrile footwear
 resists animal fats, oils, and chemicals

15. APRONS
Many hazards can threaten the
torso: heat, splashes from hot
metals and liquids, impacts,
cuts, acids, and radiation. A
variety of protective clothing is
available, including vests,
jackets, aprons, coveralls, and
full body suits. Fire retardant
wool and specially treated
cotton clothing items are
comfortable, and they adapt
well to a variety of workplace
temperatures. Other types of
protection include leather,
rubberized fabrics, and
disposable suits such as those
made from Tyvek.

16. EAR PROTECTION
• Exposure to high noise levels can cause
hearing loss or impairment. It can create
physical and psychological stress. There
is no cure for noise-induced hearing loss,
so the prevention of excessive noise
exposure is the only way to avoid hearing
damage. Specifically designed protection
is required, depending on the type of
noise encountered and the auditory
condition of employee.

17. RESPIRATORS
• Respirators serve to protect the user from breathing in
contaminants in the air, thus preserving the health of one's
respiratory tract. There are two main types of respirators. One
type functions by filtering out chemicals and gases, or airborne
particles, from the air breathed by the user.

New employees
New procedures
A change in
procedures
New equipment

20. KEY POINTS ABOUT PPE
Done before contact with the work,
generally before entering the
workplace.
Use carefully – don’t spread
contamination.
Remove and discard carefully,
either at the doorway or
immediately outside workplace;
remove respirator outside the
workplace.
Immediately perform hand hygiene.
If hands become visibly
contaminated during PPE removal,
wash hands before continuing to
remove PPE.
