Physical hazards include:


Sources of falling objects; Sources of temperatures; Sources of sharp objects; Sources of electric hazards; and Floor conditions.

Health hazards include:

Types of chemicals you could exposed Sources of falling objects; Sources of harmful dusts; and

25

Employee Responsibilities
Follow ALL Warnings and Precautions Take time to read any and all warnings and precautions that may appear machines, equipment, chemicals, MSDSs, and personal protective equipment.

26

Hand and Arm Protection


Gloves are commonly use to provide protection against the injuries including the following:

Burn Bruises Abrasions Cuts Fractures Electric shocks. Chemical exposures.

Gloves (Spec. OSHA 3151-12R)

27

Foot and Leg Protection

Safety Shoes (Spec. ANSIZ41-1991)


28

Body Protection
Full body protection can protect the hazard that could cause bodily injury including the following;

Intense Heat
Splashes of chemicals and other hot liquids Impact from tools, machinery and material Cuts Hazardous Chemicals These type of protection includes; Dungaree/ Full body suit Coveralls Aprons Surgical gown

29

Hearing Protection
Louder noise level could affect the hearing ability of workers. The hearing protection could protect workers against the hazard of loud noises.

Ear plugs & muffs (Spec. OSHA 3151-12R)

30

Hearing Protection

All hearing protection devices should have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)

Estimated noise exposure = workplace noise level in dBA NRR Be conservative when using NRRs

31

Some examples
Example 1
Ear plugs with NRR of 25 dBA exposure = 105 dBA 105 minus 25 = 80 dB therefore okay

Example 2
Same plugs exposure = 125 dBA 125 minus 25 = 100 dB not acceptable; must be below 90 dB
32

Hearing Protection - Types


Ear Plugs - less expensive, disposable, good ones have fairly high NRRs - sometimes difficult to tell if employees are wearing them Ear Muffs - more expensive, more durable, typically higher NRRs than plugs, more obvious Can be used in a very high noise areas

33

Head Protection

Head protection must be provided at a place where; Objects might fall from above and strike on the head. chances of bumping of head against fixed objects, such as exposed pipes or beams. worker working near exposed electrical conductors.
Hard Hats (Spec. ANSI Z89.1-1986)34

Protective Goggle & Shields
