# SAMPLE PPE POLICIES Newly purchased PPE must conform to the updated ANSI standards which have been incorporated into the PPE regulations, as follows: • Eye and Face Protection ANSI Z87.1-1989 • Head Protection ANSI Z89.1-1986 • Foot Protection ANSI Z41.1-1991 • Hand Protection (There are no ANSI standards for gloves, however, selection must be based on the performance characteristics of the glove in relation to the tasks to be performed.) Affected employees whose jobs require the use of PPE will be informed of the PPE selection and will be provided PPE by (Name of your business) at no charge. Careful consideration will be given to the comfort and proper fit of PPE in order to ensure that the right size is selected and that it will be used. ## C. Training Any worker required to wear PPE will receive training in the proper use and care of PPE before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE. Periodic retraining will be offered to PPE users as needed. The training will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following subjects: • When PPE is necessary to be worn • What PPE is necessary • How to properly don, doff, adjust, and wear PPE • The limitations of the PPE • The proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the PPE After the training, the employees will demonstrate that they understand how to use PPE properly, or they will be retrained. Training of each employee will be documented using the Personal Protective Equipment Training Documentation Form (or whatever form your company uses) and kept on file. The document certifies that the employee has received and understood the required training on the specific PPE he/she will be using. The PPE Training Quiz will be used to evaluate employees' understanding and will be kept in the employee training records. (Note: This document, on p. 32, is not a requirement of the Washington Safety and Health Rules. It is only a RECOMMENDED form that you can choose to use to make sure…

# OSHA QUICK CARD™ ## Protect Yourself Construction Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ## Eye and Face Protection - Safety glasses or face shields are worn any time work operations can cause foreign objects to get in the eye. For example, during welding, cutting, grinding, nailing (or when working with concrete and/or harmful chemi- cals or when exposed to flying particles). Wear when exposed to any electrical hazards, including working on energized electrical systems. - Eye and face protectors - select based on anticipated hazards. ## Foot Protection - Construction workers should wear work shoes or boots with slip-resistant and puncture-resistant soles. • Safety-toed footwear is worn to prevent crushed toes when working around heavy equipment or falling objects. - Hand Protection - Gloves should fit snugly. - Workers should wear the right gloves for the job (examples: heavy-duty rubber gloves for concrete work; welding gloves for welding; insulated gloves and sleeves when exposed to electrical hazards). - Head Protection • Wear hard hats where there is a potential for objects falling from above, bumps to the head from fixed objects, or of accidental head contact with electrical hazards. - Hard hats - routinely inspect them for dents, cracks or deterioration; replace after a heavy blow or electrical shock; maintain in good condition. - Hearing Protection - Use earplugs/earmuffs in high noise work areas where chainsaws or heavy equipment are used; clean or replace earplugs regularly.
