PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
(D.0. 198-18 SECTION 3
DEFINITION)

 Personal protective equipment

(PPE) refers to a specialized
clothing or equipment designed
to protect workers against
safety and health hazards that
may cause serious workplace
injuries and illnesses, i.e.,
protection for the body, eyes,
head, face, hands, feet, ears,
etc.

WORKERS’ RIGHT TO PPE

 All PPE must be of appropriate size,

weight, and type to specific workers
exposed to hazards from which PPE are
meant to ensure effective protection.

 Failure to provide appropriate PPE in high

risk activities shall give rise to the right of
the worker to refuse unsafe work.
Guideline in the Selection of the PPE

and infectious diseases
including COVID-19
 help businesses comply with
regulatory requirements
improve employee productivity
and efficiency

D. Categories of PPE
12
Considered use of hard hats in the area
•If there is a possibility of falling materials
from above works.
OSHS Rule 1084 • Workers / Personnel may bump their
head with the exposed structures like
HEAD beams and pipes.
• A possibility of contacts with electrical
PROTECTION hazards or hot surfaces.
• Possibilities of being struck by at
materials collapse.
• Some examples of occupations in which
employees should be required to wear
head protection include carpenters,
electricians, linemen, plumbers and
pipefitters, timber and log cutters,
welders.
13
Types of Head
Protection
1) Impact Helmets
2) Electrical Classes

14
Class G (General): intended to reduce the
danger of contact exposure to low voltage
conductors. Test samples are proof tested at
2200 volts (phase to ground).

Class E (Electrical):intended to reduce the

Electrical danger of exposure to high voltage conductors.
Test samples are proof tested at 20,000 volts
Classes (phase to ground).

Class C (Conductive): are not intended to

provide protection against contact with
electrical conductors.

15
Parts of Hard Hat
16
Daily inspection

Care and Never drill holes, paint or apply labels to protective

headgear.
Maintenance
of Head Wash with mild soap and water.

Protection Paints, paint thinners and some cleaning agents can weaken
the shells of hard hats and may eliminate electrical
resistance.

Do not store protective headgear in direct sunlight.

17
Hearing ▪ It must be able to evaluate and select appropriate
devices for each employee, based on proper fit, the
Protection employee's noise exposure, hearing ability,
communication needs, personal preferences and other
constraints imposed by job tasks or work environment.

18
Types of Hearing
Protection

▪ Earplugs are made of sound

absorbent material and fit into
the ear.
▪ REUSABLE and DISPOSABLE.
▪ Single-use earplugs are made
of waxed cotton, foam, silicone
rubber or fiberglass wool.

19
Types of Hearing Protection

▪ Ear Defender (Earmuffs)

require a perfect seal around
the ear. Glasses, facial hair,
long hair or facial movements
such as chewing may reduce
the protective value of
earmuffs.

20
Fitting the Earplug
21
Care of Hearing Protection

Regular Inspection

Clean earcups and ear cushions regularly with mild soap

and water.

Do not treat with any other substances.

Replace if needed.
22
Eye and Face Hazards

Dust, dirt, metal or wood chips entering the eye from

Eye and activities such as chipping, grinding, sawing, hammering, the
use of power tools.

Face Chemical splashes from corrosive substances, hot liquids,

solvents or other hazardous solutions.
Protection
Objects swinging into the eye or face, such as tree limbs,
chains, tools or ropes.

Radiant energy from welding, harmful rays from the use of

lasers or other radiant light (as well as heat, glare, sparks,
splash and flying particles).

23
Types of Eye and Face
Protection

1. Safety Spectacle

2. Goggles

3. Welding shields

24
Types of Eye and Face Protection

4. Face Shield

25
Care of Eye Protection

Soap and water are the most common way to clean.

Special cleaning products can be purchased that contain anti-fog chemicals.

If exposed to dust or liquid chemicals when wearing goggles, be sure to clean the top rim of
the goggles before removing them so that any accumulations of dust or chemicals do not drip
or fall into your eyes when the goggles are removed.

Dispose of eye and face protection when they become scratched and distort your vision or
become otherwise damaged.

26
Selection of RPE

Atmosphere-/substance-related factors.

Level of protection required and the Assigned

Respiratory Protection Factor (APF).

Protection Task and work-related factors.

Wearer-related factors.

Quality-related factors.

27
Main Group

Types and Group

of Respiratory
Tight-fitting facepieces
Protective (often referred to as masks)
Equipment

Loose-fitting facepieces rely

on enough clean air being
provided to the wearer.
28
Two Main Types of RPE

1. Respirators (filtering
devices) use filters to remove
contaminants from the air
being breathed in.

2. Breathing apparatus needs

a supply of breathing-quality
air from an independent
source (e.g. air cylinder or
air compressor).

29
Hand and Arm Protection

Selecting Hand and Arm Protection

type of chemicals handled
nature of contact (total immersion, splash, etc.)
area requiring protection (hand only, forearm, arm)
grip requirements (dry, wet, oily)
thermal protection
size and comfort
abrasion/resistance requirements
30
Four Groups of
Gloves
▪ Gloves made of leather, canvas or metal mesh

▪ Fabric and coated fabric gloves

▪ Chemical- and liquid-resistant gloves

▪ Insulating rubber gloves

31
Care of Hand and Arm
Protection
Work gloves should fit comfortably and never be too tight or too
loose.
Never wash or reuse disposable gloves.

Keep gloves clean and dry.

Store gloves in appropriate conditions for their use.

Check for holes, tears, cracks, discoloration, stiffness and other

damage or signs of damage before each use.
The correct use and disposal of gloves in health care settings require
extra attention due to the possibility of contamination.
Replace worn or damaged gloves right away.

32
▪ Employees who face possible bodily injury of any kind
that cannot be eliminated through engineering, work Body
practice or administrative controls, must wear
appropriate body protection. Protection

Care of Foot Protection

To maintain the shoe’s gripping component, remove any mud or

snow encrusted into the sole, as well as any gravel or piece of
metal.

Brush your shoes to remove stains and dirt, or use a damp cloth to
clean them, but steer clear of soap.

Leave your shoes to dry in a warm, dry and ventilated room, but
keep them away from any direct heat, such as electric baseboards.
Do not leave them out to dry in the sun.

37
Care of Foot Protection

If they are made of leather, apply a leather-recommended quality

grease or silicone polish to dry-proof them.

If they are made of synthetic fabric, clean them by hand with

water and mild soap. Use the same drying instructions as for
leather.

41
Clear Points

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes articles such as eye, face, head and
extremity protection; protective clothing; respiratory devices; protective shields; and
barriers for mechanical, chemical, radiological or other workplace environmental
hazards.

OSHS Rule 1080, DO 198-18 and DO 13-98 are the common regulations that regulate
the used of PPE in the country.
