REQUIREMENTS and EXPECTATIONSREQUIREMENTS and EXPECTATIONSPersonal SafetyPersonal Safety

USE Personal Protective Equipment AT WORKA number of injuries have stemmed from removal, or non appropriate use, of PPE. During the 3rd quarter (2007) two eye injuries were reported.

In both cases seamen were operating a chipping tool and they were both wearing goggles. Eventually they replaced their goggles with spectacles, because their sweat was preventing them to have a clear view.

If PPE needs to be removed, the individual should stop work, move away from the hazardous task and then remove the PPE. The hazardous task area should not be re-entered until full PPE is correctly in place. We are all responsible for our own safety and that of our colleagues. Look out for your colleagues and take action if they are not protecting themselves.

Prior to undertaking a task appropriate PPE must be identified, it must be provided and must been worn for the duration of the task. Incidents like the above are occurring when PPE is being removed momentarily.
