PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
INTRODUCTION:
The first line of defense is to eliminate accident causing situations at
the workplace by effective engineering control measures. The
Personnel Protective Equipment is a second line of defense for
employee protection.
PPE does not and cannot eliminate hazards at work. As a barrier
between the hazard and worker, PPE can help eliminate the injury or
reduce its severity.
PPE should confirm to applicable IS standards or codes of practices
and good engineering practices.
The principal requirements of PPE are:
To safeguard a person from the identified hazard to which he is

exposed.
To afford reasonable comfort.

To permit natural movement to the user to have efficient job

performance.
Should be easy for cleaning and maintenance.

HEAD PROTECTION
Classification:
The personal protective equipment are classified into two categories:

Non-respiratory PPE
Respiratory PPE
NON RESPIRATORY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

HEAD PROTECTION:
High density HDPE cross ribbed shell.
Replaceable cotton headgear and chin strap makes it
economical .
Additional lamp bracket attachments can be given .
IS-2925 and DGMS approved and marked .

HEAD PROTECTION
The SAFETY HELMET should withstand the impact of
a plumb ball of 500 GMS weight with conical steel
point having an included angle of 36 Deg. Or a
spherical point radius of not more than 0.5 mm
dropped from a height of 3 Mtr. with pointed end
downwards on or suffering failure of any integral part.

The helmet should be right size hence adjust the

fittings correctly and comfortably. Straps should not be
too tight.
Wear the helmet straight not tilled on the head. Do not
keep any packets, cards. Papers inside your hard hat.
Check regularly for cracks, dents and signs of wear
and for loose or broken straps.
Protect the helmets from exposure to heat or chemical
as much as possible.
Remove dirt and moisture after use. Clean it at least
once in a month by using cleanser and warm water.
Do not carelessly drop the helmet. Keep it in the
proper storage place.

EYE PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION
Eyes are our windows to the world, the best means of direct and
instant communication that the body with the environment. Eyes are
precious, vital part of our body.
HAZARDS:
There are broadly 2 types of hazards associated with eye injury they
are:
1. Mechanical hazard.
2. Chemical hazard.
MECHANICAL:In machining, grinding, chipping, cutting, handling
molten metals, there is great risk of flying practices, dust, chips,
sparks and molten metal splashes getting into the eyes and injuring
them.
CHEMICAL:Handling of chemicals in laboratories AND plants,
through pipelines, storage have the threat of chemical splash's, fumes,
dust and burns. In such risk situation appropriate eye protection is
must.

HAND PROTECTION
HAND PROTECTION
We use them constantly for so many diverse jobs. Our hands and fingers are
set of amazingly dexterous tools with the strength to grasp, grip lift, push, pull,
twist and hold things. They are sensitive to touch respond to pressure,
temperature and pain have the flexibility and co-ordination to perform highly
complicated and intricate jobs.
INJURIES:
The injury to hands involve minor and major cuts, fractures, crush by heavy
loads, puncture wounds by sharp objects, chemicals or thermal burns,
dermatitis.
HAZARDS:
Mechanical: Rotating / revolving machineries, cutting, grinding operation. The
most vulnerable area is point of operation. Rotating gears, shafts, flywheels,
belts, pulleys etc can also trap the hands of the unwary.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Contact with hot objects, molten metal, liquids, acids, chemicals and corrosive
can cause injury to our hand.
CONTACT:
Contact with irritating substances is a common problem. Inflammation of skin,
dermatitis the principal injuries to the skin.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
The respiratory system consisting of some vital organs of the body is
the very core of human being. If it collapses, life itself is extinguished.
Hence proper protection against the hazards is to be applied.
The hazards can be classified as,
1)Oxygen deficiency:
Due to decay of organic matter.
Due to other chemical reaction
In confined space due to traces of chemicals.
A person breathing air with O2 content of 16% less may show
symptoms of
Increase rate of breathing.
Acceleration of pulse rate
Unconsciousness.
2)Gases & Vapour contaminants
Toxic– May produce harmful effect.Would endanger life of a person
Contaminants: (Dust, fumes, mist, fogs) e.g. liquid or vapour.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

TYPES OF RESPIRATORY
PROTECTORS
A. .Air supplied respiratory
protectors:1)Fresh air mask: It
consists of a full face mask and a
corrugated tube connected to
compressor or blower. It has a wide
application while handling any
chemicals or in any emergency.
Care is to be taken that the non-
return valves (NRV) of the mask are
in operating condition.

SCBA - SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.

2)Self-contained breathing apparatus:

In this, air is admitted to face piece
through a two stage pressure reducing
mechanism and accordingly air supply
is regulated. The exhaled air passes
through a non-return valve to
atmosphere. This apparatus has a
wide application in handling
emergencies like Bromine leakage,
Hazardous spillage of chemicals etc.
The operation procedures are
demonstrated to the employees
Jump to first page
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
B.Air Purifying Respiratory Protectors:

1) Gas mask: It consists of appropriate

chemical canister a face piece, breathing
tube and canister harness to hold the
canister in place on the body of wearer.
Chemical in the canister absorbs or
neutralizes the containment present in the
air. Canister is designed for specific
containment and colour coding of canister is
done as per IS-8522. Do not use in
atmosphere containing less than 17 %
oxygen by volume or highly toxic
atmosphere or confined space.

Jump to first page

DUST MASK
2) Dust mask: It covers nose and mouth of the wearer and had a filter
which filter dust and allows dust free breathing air to the wearer. It is
commonly used.
The selection of respiratory protectors depends upon nature of hazard, severity
of hazard, type of containment, concentration of containment, location of
contaminated area, activity of wearer, operating characteristics and limitations
of breathing apparatus itself.
