Q

his is the application of engineering technology to control
hazards. An example is machine guarding which prevent anyone from coming in contact with
moving parts of a machine during the operation. Other examples are installation of safety devices
like emergency stop, limit, grab-wire and photo electric switches. These prevent accidents in case
of improper work practices.

31
Q

shall be secured above the point of operation to an anchorage or other structural
member.

A

Lifelines

32
Q

must be provided for employees if they are threatened with
bodily injury of one kind or another while performing their jobs, and if engineering,

36
Q

____ protective clothing is often used against dry heat and flame

A

Leather

37
Q

protective clothing made from these
materials protect against certain acids and other chemicals.

A

Rubberized fabrics, neoprene, and plastics

38
Q

requires employerstoprovide
appropriate personal protective equipment to workers. Employers can be held liable if they fail
to furnish their workers with the necessary PPE

A

Rule 1080 of the Occupational Safety and Health Standards(OSHS)

39
Q

Every employer shall at his/her own expense furnish his/her workers with protective
equipment for the eyes, face, hands and feet, protective shields and barriers whenever
necessary by reason of the hazardous nature of the process or environment, chemical or
radiological or other mechanical irritants or hazards capable of causing injury or
impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or
physical contact.

A

1081.01

40
Q

All protective equipment shall be of approved design and construction appropriate for
the exposure and the work to be performed.

A

1081.02

41
Q

The employer shall be responsible for the adequacy and proper maintenance of personal
protective equipment used in his workplace.

A

1081.03

42
Q

No person shall be subjected or exposed to hazardous environmental condition without
protection.

A

1081.04

43
Q

When must I provide PPE?

A
  • Their work environment presents a hazard or is likely to present a hazard to any part of
    their bodies;
  • Their work processes present a hazard or are likely to present a hazard to any part of
    their body;
  • During their work, they might come into contact with hazardous chemicals, radiation, or
    mechanical irritants;
  • You are unable to eliminate their exposure or potential exposure to the hazard by
    engineering, work practice, or administrative control.
44
Q

: If employees wear eyeglasses with prescription lenses,may I consider these as eye protection?

A

: No. Eye glasses designed for ordinary wear do not provide the level of protection necessary to
protect against workplace hazards.

45
Q

Could employees wearing hard hats and working at elevations create a potential hazard for
the employees working below?

A

To protect employees working below, you must provide chin straps for the protective helmets
worn by employees working at higher elevations such as aerial lifts or at the edge of a pit. The
chin straps should be designed to prevent the hard hats from being bumped off the employee’s
heads.

46
Q

: Is there one kind of glove that will protect against all workplace hazards?

A

No. The nature of the hazard(s) and the operation to be performed will determine your
selection of gloves. The variety of potential occupational hand injuries may make selecting the
appropriate pair of gloves more difficult than choosing other protective equipment. Exercise care
in choosing gloves designed for the particular circumstances of your workplace

47
Q

Why should workers be outfitted with the more expensive industrial respirators when look
alike “nuisance masks” are available?

A

Respirators filter toxic dusts and mists commonly found in industrial and manufacturing
settings, such as welding, grinding, sanding, and maintenance or repair applications. Respirators
meet minimum performance standards and the government approved agencies certify them.

A “nuisance dust mask” on the other hand, has no approved government certification and meets
no government performance standards. Nuisance dust masks should not be used when
exposures to hazardous conditions may exist. The filtration efficiency of nuisance dust mask is
lower and the face seal around the nose and mouth is less effective than that of approved
respirators

48
Q

: Is cotton sufficient as earplugs?

A

: Plain cotton does not effectively protect against occupational noise. You may, however,
choose from several products that are effective at protecting your employees’ hearing.
Appropriate hearing protectors include: single-use earplugs, pre-formed or molded earplugs,
canal caps, and earmuffs.

49
Q

Once I have selected the specific PPE for my workers, how do I make sure they use it
properly?

A

Train your workersto use the protective equipment. Teach them to know…
* Why the PPE is necessary as well as the specific hazards in their work area.
* How the equipment will provide protection to them.
* The limitations of the PPE
* How to properly put on the protective equipment
* How to identify signs of wear such as scuffed, cracked, holes, etc.
* How to clean and maintain the PPE
* The company PPE policy, rules and regulations
