Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Let’s talk about Personal Protective Equipment, or
PPE.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015 2
According to OSHA, millions of workers suffer a serious job-
related injury or illness each year, with many injuries occurring
because PPE did not provide full protection or the wrong PPEwas worn.
. . .
Meet Guy.
3
Guy is about to have a pretty rough week
at work. Hopefully, Guy will be able to
learn from his mistakes and understand that
using the right PPE in the right way, at the
right time, could save his life.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Today, Guy has been asked to do some
hot work.
4PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Before long, some sparks are flying and
they land right in Guy’s eye. Ouch!
5
Guy could have benefitted from using eye
and face protection.

PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Now that Guy has learned a few things,
he’s good to go!
9
What do we do before putting on any
PPE, Guy?
Let’s see what happens in Day 2.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Today, Guy is working beneath a
scaffold.
10PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Guy’s coworker loses his grip on
a tool and *BANG,* it falls on
poor Guy’s head.
11
That’ll be a doozy!
Let’s see what kind of
head protectionGuy could have
used.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Head Protection
12
A hard hat should always be worn.
Hard hats should effectively:
Resist penetration by objects
Absorb the shock of a blow
Be water-resistantBe ANSI Z-89-approved
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Head Protection
13
Two types of ANSI hard hat classifications include:
Class E, which is electrically protective to 20,000 volts
and is required by most operators.
Class G, which is electrically protective to 2,200 volts
and is for general industry use.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Head Protection
14
Inspect hard hats for nicks, scratches, or
holes on the shell.
Make sure your hard hat’s
suspension is not damaged or
deteriorated.
Check that your hard hat is not brittle or
soft due to UV damage.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Hopefully Day 3 goes better for
Guy.
15
Today, Guy has been asked to do
some cutting work.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
It should be nice and quick, until… *SNIP*
16
Guy cuts his hand pretty badly.
Guy can’t catch a break! His cut-resistant gloves were in his
pocket.
Let’s see what Guy needs to know
about hand and arm protection.

On Day 4, Guy’s coworker is
trying to move something heavy without getting help when…
20PPT-SM-PPE 2015
*SLIP* he loses
his grip and the heavy items fall right
on Guy’s foot.
21
Bad luck!
Let’s see what foot and leg
protection Guy could have
used.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Foot and Leg Protection
22
Safety footwear, like steel-toe boots, must meet standards set
by
ANSI
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Foot and Leg Protection
23
Examples include:
• Leggings
• Metatarsal guards
• Toe guards
• Combination foot and shin guards
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
On Day 5,
Guy’s coworker
is working on something electrical when…
24
*POP* Guy gets a good
idea!
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Guy grabs some
flame-retardant
clothing, or FRC,
to protect himself and his coworker.
25
*DING* Solution! Let’s see why.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Body Protection
26
FRCs are less likely to catch fire, so
they’re useful in protecting workers from
flash fires, electrical arcs, and
flames. They are self-extinguishing
and must be approved for use
in the work environment.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
Body Protection
Other garments used to protect the arms, legs, and trunk of
the body from hazards include:
Fully-encapsulating suits
Sleeve protectors
Proximity suits
Cooling garments
PPT-SM-PPE 2015 27
Let’s see how Guy used what we
learned to be safe on the job this week.
28
On Day 1, Guy wears a welding mask during hot work in order to
protect his face and eyes.
PPT-SM-PPE 2015
On Day 2, Guy wears
an ANSI-approved
hard hat, which
absorbs the shock of a blow to his head when his coworker accidentally drops a tool.
29PPT-SM-PPE 2015
On Day 3, Guy wears cut-resistant
gloves during cutting work in order to
protect his hands and fingers.
30PPT-SM-PPE 2015
On Day 4, Guy wears
safety footwear in order
to protect his feet
from potential crushing and other hazards.
31PPT-SM-PPE 2015
On Day 5, a safe Guy goes
home to his family.
