1 Role of Protective Clothing in enhancing worker safety- Global Perspective July 14,2011

2 Protective Wear Applications....

3 ILO Global Estimates Of Occupational Accidents CountryIndustrial Workers (Millions) Fatal Accidents per 100000 Accidents causing leave for 3+ days due to injury/1 million workers Work related deaths Per Capita $ spent on PPE Industrial33550.04297000 14 India401000.75302000 0.33 20-30 % of PPE budget is normally spent on Protective Clothing

4 Protection At The Work Place

5 Global Trends OSHA,USA estimates that for every $1 spent on effective HSE programme about $4 are saved The USA protective market grew by 6% during 2007- 10(economy grew 1-2 %) Protection from Fire/Heat is a major requirement for Protective Clothing Regulatory framework is essential for the adoption of good PPE and safety practices The death toll is higher in Developing countries, where more workers are engaged in blue collar work CSR is becoming an important aspect within a company Globalisation of manufacturing- Make in India sell in Europe

6 Work Place Injuries in USA by Type Globally Companies Spend most on Protective clothing than any other PPE

7 Safety at Workplaces Proactive measures: – Safety Systems – Training – Evaluation of PPE – Risk Hazard analysis – Insurance Reactive measures: – Action post accident – Compensation

8 Safety At The Workplace – The Key Success Factor: REGULATION Regulatory Frame work - for eg. USA Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is probably the most comprehensive and wide-ranging legislation in this area. The act aims to ensure safe working conditions for every worker by: – Setting and enforcing workplace safety standards – Promoting employer-sponsored educational programs that foster safety and health; and – Requiring employers to keep records regarding job-related safety and health matters

9 Safety At Work Place- The Key Success Factor: REGULATION Three separate agencies were created by the act: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop and enforce health and safety standards The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission to evaluate the appeals from employers who wish to contest OSHA rulings The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to conduct health and safety research and suggest new standards and update previous ones

11 Protective Clothing Categories Protection from – 1. Foul weather 2.Ballistic and mechanical protection 3.Radiation 4.Harmful particulate matter 5.Bacteria/Viruses 6.Clean room - Protecting delicate items from ESD 7.Harmful chemicals 8.Extreme heat and/or fire 9.Molten metal 10.Electric Arc 11.Hi Visibility 12.Multi Protection

12 Protective Wear Examples… BACTERIAL/VIRAL Sophisticated Barrier fabrics garments along with anti- bacterial finishes are been used by hospital and medical personnel, emergency responders such as ambulances, firemen, and police

13 Protective Wear Examples… CLEAN ROOM The human body emits over 250,000 submicron particles (<.05 microns) every minute. Protective Clothing helps to keep these particles from escaping and contaminating the Product / Environment / Worker

14 Protective Wear Examples… CHEMICAL Protective clothing offers permeation and penetration protection from a wide range of chemicals

15 THERMAL Protection from fire and extreme heat, has long witnessed a need for protective clothing which has helped to protect the fireman, those working in primary metal industries with molten metal, and similar areas involving exposure to high heat such as welding, foundries, ceramics manufacture, electrical maintenance, etc. Protective Wear Examples…

16 Important factors for adoption of Protective Clothing at the Workplace Evaluate solutions conforming to universally accepted and followed standards and specifications Check the credentials of the supplier Comfort of the Protective Clothing Proper garment maintenance Increase worker efficiency
