Discussion
PPE & Worker Protection
Personal Protective Equipment
PPE comes in at third place in OSHA’s
Hierarchy of means to protect workers.
“Eliminate Control and Protect”
PPE is the Last Line of Defense
The OSHA Standard: 1910.132(a)
Protective Equipment
1910.132(a) Application. Protective equipment,
including personal protective equipment for eyes,
face, head, and extremities, protective clothing,
respiratory devices, and protective shields and
barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained
in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is
necessary by reason of hazards of processes or
environment, chemical hazards, radiological
hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a
manner capable of causing injury or impairment
in the function of any part of the body through
absorption, inhalation or physical contact.
The OSHA Standard: 1910.132(b), (c)
Employer Responsibility, Design
• 1910.132(b) Employee-owned
equipment. Where employees provide
their own protective equipment
the employer shall be responsible to
assure its adequacy, including proper
maintenance, and sanitation of such
equipment.
1910.132(c) Design. All personal protective
equipment shall be of safe design and
construction for the work to be performed.
OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d)
Hazard assessment and equipment selection.
1910.132(d)(1)
The employer shall assess the
workplace to determine if hazards are
present, or are likely to be present, which
necessitate the use of personal
protective equipment (PPE).
OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d)
Hazard assessment and equipment selection.
• If such hazards are present, or likely to be
present, the employer shall:
• 1910.132(d)(1)(i) Select, and have each
affected employee use, the types of PPE
that will protect the affected employee from
the hazards identified in the hazard
assessment;
OSHA Standard: 1910.132(d)
Hazard assessment and equipment selection.
1910.132(d)(1)(ii) Communicate selection
decisions to each affected employee; and,
1910.132(d)(1)(iii) Select PPE that properly fits
each affected employee.
Note: Non-mandatory Appendix B contains an example of
procedures that would comply with the requirement for a
hazard assessment.
1910.132(d)
Hazard assessment and equipment selection
1910.132(d)(2) The employer shall verify
that the required workplace hazard
assessment has been performed through
a written certification that identifies the
workplace evaluated; the person
certifying that the evaluation has been
performed; the date(s) of the hazard
assessment; and, which identifies the
document as a certification of hazard
assessment.
What if OSHA Asks? Demonstrate Compliance
OSHA Standard: 1910.132(e)
Hazard assessment and equipment selection.
1910.132(e) Defective and damaged
equipment. Defective or damaged
personal protective equipment shall not be
used.
OSHA Standard: 1910.132(f)(1)
Training
1910.132(f)(1) The employer shall provide
training to each employee who is required by
this section to use PPE. Each such employee
shall be trained to know at least the following:
1910.132(f)(1)(i) When PPE is necessary;
1910.132(f)(1)(ii) What PPE is necessary;
1910.132(f)(1)(iii) How to properly don, doff,
adjust, and wear PPE; 1910.132(f)(1)(iv) The
limitations of the PPE; and, 1910.132(f)(1)(v)
The proper care, maintenance, useful life and
disposal of the PPE.
1910.132(f)(2)
Training
1910.132(f)(2) Each affected employee
shall demonstrate an understanding of
the training specified in paragraph (f)(1)
of this section, and the ability to use PPE
properly, before being allowed to perform
work requiring the use of PPE.
1910.132(f)(3)
Training
1910.132(f)(3) When the employer has
reason to believe that any affected
employee who has already been trained
does not have the understanding and skill
required by paragraph (f)(2) of this section,
the employer shall retrain each such
employee. Circumstances where retraining
is required include, but are not limited to,
situations where:
1910.132(f)(3)
Training
1910.132(f)(3)(i) Changes in the workplace
render previous training obsolete; or
1910.132(f)(3)(ii) Changes in the types of PPE to
be used render previous training obsolete; or
1910.132(f)(3)(iii) Inadequacies in an affected
employee's knowledge or use of assigned PPE
indicate that the employee has not retained the
requisite understanding or skill.
1910.132(3)(f)(4)
Training
1910.132(f)(4) The employer shall verify
that each affected employee has received
and understood the required training
through a written certification that
contains the name of each employee
trained, the date(s) of training, and that
identifies the subject of the certification.
PPE Hazard Assessment
Examples
http://nasupplierhsse.bpglobal.com
PPE Selection
• Based on the task performed
• Based on hazards present
• Physical state – gas, liquid, solid
• Concentration
Where do I get this information?
• Material Safety Data Sheet?
– List of constituents and composition
– “Wear gloves.” “Wear respiratory protection.”
• Websites – Ansell Edmont (glove
example); 3M respiratory protection
• Take field measurements of
concentrations
Example
Condensate, NGL, Produced Water, Rich Glycol
SOURCE OF EXPOSURE / ACTIVITY
Tank cleaning, piping replacement, gauging
Benzene [Skin]
HAZARD (0.5 ppm BP 8-hr TWA, 2.5 ppm BP STEL; 1 ppm OSHA 8-hr TWA, 5
ppm STEL
1910.1028)
["Skin" denotes hazards that can be absorbed through the skin.]
CONCENTRATION / ROUTE OF ENTRY Less than 0.5
ppm
0.5 - 50.0
ppm
No respiratory
Full-facepiece

1910.134(d)(3)(i)(A) Assigned Protection Factor: Full facepiece air purifying - 50
required.
vapor cartridge
CONTROL MEASURES
Greater than 50.0
ppm
Clothing /
gloves
Supplied air
respirator/SCBA
Nitrile, viton,
neoprene
gloves
Task: operation of equipment pump trucks
• Diesel engines
Midday: diesel particulates
not highly visible despite multiple
operating engines
Early a.m. diesel emission cloud visible
above work area due to Tyndall effect
from stationary lighting sources
Task: Chemical truck operator
•
Chemicals contained in plastic carboys, direct connections made to blender truck via
mixing manifold. Workers well protected, dermal, respiratory protection used
appropriately, work operations occur in open area.
How To:
PPE Hazard Assessment Basics
Make a list: A Simple Spreadsheet will work
• List the different types of tasks:
– Use JSA’s, Incidents, Near Misses, Industry Data
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
List the potential hazards within the tasks
List the PPE needed to help protect
Research the specific PPE needed
Involve the employees performing the work
Add a certification and date
Most effective are Craft Specific
Make it a living document and Post it
– Use it to develop better JSA’s
– Continually Improve the list
– Use it for training

Management Statement: My Company is committed to following the OSHA General Duty Clause, protecting our
employees from recognized hazards.
 The PPE Hazard assessment is designed to not only list recognized hazards in our operations, but to give each
employee an opportunity to provide input as new or potential hazards are recognized.
 Due to our diverse business, a separate PPE Hazard Analysis worksheet will be completed for separate types
of work we do.
 My Company JSA program is always to be used for recognizing and mitigating hazards encountered in daily
operations at work sites.
 The PPE Hazard assessment is similar to JSA, but is a more formal way to capture hazards, and proposed
changes will be reviewed by the HSE committee at regular meetings, with accepted changes formally added as
decided by committee with management approval.
 PPE identified on the Hazard Assessment will be provided and included in the My Company training program.
 My Company management encourages employee involvement and participation.
Definitions:
 PPE: Personal Protective equipment. A device designed to protect a specific body part from a known or
potential hazard.
 Hazard: Something which if not eliminated or controlled would potentially cause harm to people or damage
to the environment.
 Energy examples include: Gravity, Chemical, Thermal, Pressure, Biological, Motion, Radiation & Electrical

Review JSA’s
Give them a checklist to fill out for a week
Bring back ‘stuff’ from the VPPPA Conference 
Don’t just observe, talk, talk, talk!
• Part 2
– Consider reviewing the hazard assessment & annual
training & inspection at the same time
– Review the final hazard assessment before certification
• Part 3
– Post PPE Hazard Assessment
– Highlighter Idea
