5 5 if not worn properly, ear plugs will not protect your hearing nearly as well as they should

6 6 PPE is essential in the chemical mixing area; note that this worker did not don his mask correctly when mixing drilling mud the worker should wear gloves, long sleeves, goggles, and a dust mask; when dealing with caustics or lime, add an apron and a face shield

12 12 these welders are unprotected from falling objects with just welding hoods on Corrective Action: after the welding operation is complete, a hard hat should be worn

13 13 Applicable Standards 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure 1910.132-138 General requirements, electrical protective equipment, and eye, face, respiratory, head, foot, and hand protection 1926.52 Occupational Noise Exposure 1926 Subpart E Personal Protective and Life Saving Equipment API RP 54 section 5 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

18 18 Always Remember Wear safety glasses – at all times, except when wearing goggles Wear a hard hat – at all times, except when wearing a welding hood Wear hard-toed boots – at all times Wear hand and arm protection – when mixing chemicals (drilling mud, caustics, lime) – when handling items that may injure the hands Wear an apron – when dealing with caustics or lime

19 19 Always Remember Wear a face shield – when grinding – when dealing with caustics or lime Wear goggles – when mixing chemicals (drilling mud, caustics, lime) Wear a respirator – when entering hazardous atmospheres Wear a dust mask – when mixing chemicals (drilling mud, caustics, lime) Wear hearing protection – at all times in areas that require it

20 20 Memory Check 1.A worker mixing chemicals must NOT wear a.safety glasses b.goggles c.gloves d.long sleeves
