# 1910.132 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1910.132(a) Application. Protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. ## 1910.132(b) Employee-owned equipment. Where employees provide their own protective equipment, the employer shall be responsible to assure its adequacy, including proper maintenance, and sanitation of such equipment. ## 1910.132(c) Design. All personal protective equipment shall be of safe design and construction for the work to be performed. 1910.132(d) Hazard assessment and equipment selection. 1910.132(d)(1) The employer shall assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). If such hazards are present, or likely to be present, the employer shall: 1910.132(d)(1)(i) Select, and have each affected employee use, the types of PPE that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in the hazard assessment; 1910.132(d)(1)(ii) Communicate selection decisions to each affected employee; and, 1910.132(d)(1)(iii) Select PPE that properly fits each affected employee. Note: Non-mandatory appendix B contains an example of procedures that would comply with the requirement for a hazard assessment. 1910.132(d)(2) The employer shall verify that the required workplace hazard assessment has been performed through a written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated; the person certifying that the evaluation has been performed; the date(s) of th…

# 1910.133 - EYE AND FACE PROTECTION - 1910.133(a) General requirements. 1910.133(a)(1) The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation. - 1910.133(a)(2) The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses eye protection that provides side protection when there is a hazard from flying objects. Detachable side protectors (e.g. clip-on or slide-on side shields) meeting the pertinent requirements of this section are acceptable. - 1910.133(a)(3) The employer shall ensure that each affected employee who wears prescription lenses while engaged in operations that involve eye hazards wears eye protection that incorporates the prescription in its design, or wears eye protection that can be worn over the prescription lenses without disturbing the proper position of the prescription lenses or the protective lenses. 1910.133(a)(4) Eye and face PPE shall be distinctly marked to facilitate identification of the manufacturer. 1910.133(a)(5) The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses equipment with filter lenses that have a shade number appropriate for the work being performed for protection from injurious light radiation. The following is a listing of appropriate shade numbers for various operations. <table><tr><th colspan="4">FILTER LENSES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIANT ENERGY</th></tr><tr><td>OPERATIONS</td><td>ELECTRODE SIZE 1/32 IN.</td><td>ARC CURRENT</td><td>MINIMUM* PROTECTIVE SHADE</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4">Shield metal Arc welding</td><td>Less than 3</td><td>Less than 60</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>3 - 5</td><td>60 160</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>5 - 8</td><td>160 250</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>more than 8</td><td>250 550</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4">Gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding</td><t…

# Welding - Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing (cont.) ## Why is eye protection important? Eye injury can occur from the intense light and radiation that a welding arc can produce. Eye injury can also occur from hot slag and other metal debris that can fly off from the weld during cooling, chipping or grinding. - Protect your eyes from welding light by wearing a welder's helmet fitted with a filter shade that is suitable for the type of welding you are doing. - ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles when chipping or grinding a work piece if you are not wearing a welding helmet. ## What type of eye and face protection is appropriate for my welding task? The various types of eye protection are broken down into classes in the CSA standard Z94.3- 20 "Eye and face protectors". Each class is designed for a specific use. Eye and face protectors should have distinctive markings to identify the manufacturer and their class. Classifications of common protectors for welding operations are listed below: - Class 2C — direct / non-ventilated goggles with non-ionizing radiation protection - Class 3 - welding helmets - Class 4 - welding hand shields - Class 6 - face shields for non-ionizing radiation protection - Class 7 - respirator facepiece for non-ionizing radiation protection The following operations require full face protection by using either a welding helmet or a hand shield: - arc welding, - plasma arc cutting, gouging or welding, and - air carbon arc cutting. For gas cutting, welding, or brazing, the intensity of the light is much less than from arc welding, cutting or gouging processes. Lighter shade filter lenses can be used with goggles in place of a helmet. More information can be found in the OSH Answers on Eye and Face Protectors.
