2 Your Guide to Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Your Guide to Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Having the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial in safeguarding your employees health. Exposure to hazardous substances can cause a range of ailments, in some cases with tragic consequences. PPE should be worn when performing tasks that could be damaging to the worker s health. PPE includes such items as: Eye Protection Wearing the correct protective eye wear decreases risk to the eyes and reduces injuries. Potential hazards which cause eye injuries include ultraviolet and infrared radiation, harmful gasses, vapours & aerosols, dust, chemical splashes and impacting particles. RSEA s safety goggles and spectacles come in multiple shapes, sizes and styles to suit individual needs. Hearing Protection Wearing the correct hearing protection at work is extremely important, as even a few minutes of exposure to noise each day can accumulate and be damaging to your hearing. RSEA s range of earplugs and earmuffs is carefully considered to suit any application. Head & Face Protection Helmets and Face Shields protect against the risk of injury in the workplace that can occur from falling objects, splashes strikes, bumps and electrical hazards. Head protection which meets Australian standards is often mandatory at work sites. RSEA s vast assortment of head protective equipment ensures that you are covered for almost any job. Respiratory Protection Respiratory safety equipment protects the wearer from the risk of inhaling toxic and damaging particles and gas. If these substances enter the body they can be absorbed into the blood stream where they are carried to the vital organs. Different applications require varying types of respiratory protection, such as half face or full face respirators, either with or without air supply. Image Courtesy of Hand Protection Using the correct hand protection can greatly reduce the risk of injury to the hands. In workplaces where the risk of hand injury is present, a risk assessment should be completed to determine the level of hand protection required. RSEA stocks a large range of gloves for a variety of industries and applications. Body Protection Body protection is a varied section of PPE which incorporates equipment that can reduce risk to the body, such as protective coveralls, knee pads, back supports, hydration and welding equipment. Correct use of body protective PPE safeguards employees against workplace related injuries and illnesses. Height Safety A full risk assessment and work method statement should be carried out to determine if there is need for the use of height safety PPE in your workplace. All personnel using PPE at height must be trained in the proper use and limitations of their equipment. RSEA has a large range of height safety equipment to suit any height application. 78 Visit rsea.com.au or Call for All Things Safety!

5 Polarisation Polarised Lens Light can bounce and reflect off a myriad of surfaces, such as water, snow and the road. Polarising technology removes the glare and the stress it causes to your eyes. The lenses block virtually 99.99% of UVA/ UVB rays, protection that goes well beyond Non Polarised Polarised government and commercial standards. Polarised lenses available In Bollé: Hurricane, Prowler, Phantom, Sidewinder, Lowrider, Hustler, Voodoo & Tracker 2. Wavelengths & UV Light We receive wavelengths through two organs; we see light through our eyes and we capture sound through our ears. From radio waves to gamma rays, wavelengths gradually constrict, causing their frequency to increase and making them consume more and more energy. Hence, waves gradually increase in intensity and therefore are more dangerous for the eyes. The sun emits three types of light waves and without the correct eye protection each in its own way can seriously affect the eye. Ultraviolet Light Rays: 5% of the sun s energy reaches the earth in this form. UV rays (invisible tanning rays) can cause serious damage to the unprotected eye including the development of cataracts and corneal blistering. Infrared Light Rays: 50% of the sun s energy reaches the earth as heat or infrared. Some IR rays will be absorbed by the cornea creating a drying effect an issue of importance to contact lens wearers. Visible Light Rays: 45% of the sun s energy reaches the earth in what the eye perceives as colour. Blue Light waves are the most difficult to see. When the unprotected eye strains to focus on it, all other colours can be distorted. After two to three hours in bright sunlight, eyes can have trouble adjusting to night vision. 10 Gamma X rays UV IR Micro Waves Television Radio Radar NM Complete Spectrum 380 NM 780 NM Visible Spectrum Polarisation, Wavelengths & UV Light The human eye is not able to identify the various elements of a ray - it only sees the results, which are a function of the different wavelengths and their respective light intensity. The human eye can only see wavelengths within the visible spectrum (between 380 and 780 nanometres). Consequences of Visible, U.V. & I.R. Radiation on the Eye Invisible Spectrum - U.V.

16 Australian/New Zealand Hearing Protection Standards Australian/New Zealand Hearing Protection Standards Noise induced hearing loss cannot be cured, it must be prevented. The damaging effects of noise can accumulate, even if an employee s ear protection is only removed for a few minutes every day. As 100% wear time is essential, selecting the correct hearing protection is of the utmost importance. When selecting the correct hearing protection the following Australian Standards should be referred to. AS/NZS Occupational Noise Management - Overview and General Requirements This Standard provides an overview of the AS/NZS 1269 series and general requirements on occupational noise management. The series deals with noise as it affects hearing, but does not deal with other effects of noise. It also provides an integrated approach to establishing, implementing and evaluating an occupational noise management program. Standards Australia AS/NZS Occupational noise management - Overview and general requirements - SAI Global. AS/NZS Occupational Noise Management - Measurement and Assessment of Noise Emission and Exposure This Standard sets out requirements for, and provides guidance on, the types of noise assessments which may be necessary and the suitable noise measuring instruments to carry the noise assessments out. The type of measuring instruments and procedures to be used for the measurement of noise levels will depend on such factors as the type of workplace, type of noise, work patterns and information required. Standards Australia AS/NZS Occupational noise management - Measurement and assessment of noise emission and exposure - SAI Global. AS/NZS Occupational Noise Management - Noise Control Management. This Standard provides requirements and guidance on the management of noise control in occupational settings and applies to all types of workplaces and to all types of sounds. Standards Australia AS/NZS Occupational noise management - Noise control management - SAI Global. AS/NZS Occupational Noise Management - Hearing Protector Program This Standard specifies the administrative responsibilities associated with a hearing protector program; the selection, use and maintenance of various types of hearing protectors; and training and motivation in regards to hearing protector programs.

There are several noise control techniques including engineering controls and administrative controls. Personal hearing protection should be regarded as first aid until noise levels can be reduced to safe levels, or as a last resort when noise cannot be engineered out. Personal hearing protection is usually available in two forms: earplugs and earmuffs. Earplugs are usually made of silicone, or foam, and are inserted into the ear canal. Earmuffs completely enclose the ear, and are held in place against the side of the head by a headband. Earplugs and Earmuffs work by blocking the sound waves from reaching the inner ear. The process of blocking the sound waves is called attenuation. The higher the attenuation the more noise is blocked from reaching the inner ear. Under the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1270:2002, the class system is a simple way to select a hearing protector appropriate to a noise exposure. Once the extent of the noise hazard has been determined by a noise level survey, the user simply applies this to a table like the one below to select an appropriate hearing protector. All calculations are based on the maximum exposure limit of 85dB Leq, 8hr. Example: If a noise level survey shows a person will be exposed to a noise level of 102dB(A)Leq 8hr using the above table, we can see that a Class 4 hearing protector is required for protection against this level of noise. In Australia the SLC80 rating is still an acceptable method for the selection of hearing protectors according to clause A2.3 in Appendix A of AS/NZS :2005. Workplace Protection Effective Attenuation (db) 30dB 25dB 20dB 15dB 10dB 5dB Hearing Protector SLC80 30dB (A) Percentage of Exposure Time Worn Discomfort or irritation when wearing hearing protection is particularly apparent and can lead to removal of the hearing protector. This is commonly what happens with high attenuating hearing protectors that are often heavier and more uncomfortable. You only have to remove your hearing protection a few minutes every day for the damaging effects of noise to accumulate. This is why 100% wear time is so important. Over a working day, periods of a few minutes of unprotected exposure can easily accumulate. An example of reduced effective protection is removing your hearing protector for 10 minutes during a total exposure time of 1 hour. The effective protection provided by a high attenuating hearing protector (30dB) is reduced to 8dB. This makes the effective protective value 22dB less than expected, by wearing the hearing protector 83% of the time over 1 hour. It is vital that every effort is made to encourage 100% wear time. This can be achieved through training and providing suitable hearing protection that is comfortable enough to wear all day.

18 Noise-Induced Hearing Loss is 100% Preventable Noise-Induced Hearing Loss is 100% Preventable Unlike most occupational injuries, there is no visible evidence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). It is not traumatic and often goes unnoticed when it first occurs. Noise-induced hearing loss accumulates over time, its effects realised long after the damage has been done. NIHL is permanent and irreversible. With proper education, motivation and protection, is also 100% preventable. When is noise considered hazardous? Noise is considered hazardous anytime you must shout at someone an arm s length away to be heard. While exposure to hazardous noise is common, prevention of NIHL is simple: consistent use of properly fitted hearing protection when exposed to hazardous noise. That is the goal of every Hearing Conservation Program. Indicators of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss. Although there are no visual signs of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, there are a few simple indicators of NIHL. Identification in its early stages can help prevent further damage. High-Frequency Hearing Loss. When hearing impairment begins, the high frequencies are often lost first, which is why people with NIHL have difficulty hearing high pitched sounds such as human voices, alarms and signals. Compared to other sounds, they will seem muffled or distorted. With normal hearing, conversations are understandable if they are loud enough. When someone suffers from noise-induced hearing loss, simply turning up the volume does not make speech clearer. The clarity is adversely affected regardless of how loud the volume. Gradual Progression. NIHL rarely happens overnight. Rather, it accumulates over time with every unprotected exposure to hazardous noise, usually in both ears. This progression can be detected through healthy hearing practices, including the performance of annual audiograms on all employees in your Hearing Conservation Program. Audiograms can identify whether your employees are experiencing a Temporary Threshold Shift (TTS), or a Standard Threshold Shift (STS), which indicates permanent damage and requires further preventative action. Common Symptoms. Those suffering from noise-induced hearing loss will experience tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or muffled hearing. Non-auditory effects of NIHL may include increased stress, high blood pressure, sleep problems and/or headaches. Create a successful Hearing Conservation Program through best practices. Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major compensable industrial disease in Australia and results in substantial economic costs. The National Code of Practice for Noise Management and Protection of Hearing at Work provides practical guidance on how the national standard can be achieved. It requires that employees who have work areas with noise levels at or above 85dB (A) have, access to hearing protection on the job. Implementing a Hearing Conservation Program may appear complicated, but there are a number of best practices safety managers can employ to ensure compliance with regulations and promote employee hearing safety.
