WHAT IS THE PPE?
That means Personal Protective Equipment.
The human has 19 square feet of surface area and inhales
over 3,000 gallons of air per day. Since chemical exposure
comes through inhalation ingestion, and skin contact, protective
measure need to be in place. Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) provides an effective means for protecting technicians
from hazardous situation. Engineering and environmental controls
provided another layer of protection. PPE is designed by nature to
be used in environments that place technicians in contact with a hazardous situation. The primary purpose of PPE is to prevent exposure to hazards when engineering or environmental controls cannot be used.
Most of the hazards found in the chemical processing
industry have been assessed and have PPE tat will provide some degree of protection. Modern hazard management controls workplace hazards with
engineering and / or environmental systems. This limits or reduced
the amount of exposure a technician may have to a hazardous condition.
Typical outerwear worn by process technicians include:-
Safety Helmet- head protection
Light eye protection- eye protection
Safety footwear.- foot protection
Overalls.- body protection
Hand Protection- gloves
Ear plug- hearing protection.
