3 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) All personnel are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while on the jobsite. When non-typical work places or tasks are encountered, the new situation should be assessed by a competent person to determine what PPE is required. Eye Safety glasses must always be worn on the jobsite pursuant to OSHA guidelines. All safety glasses are required to conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z Eyeglasses can be worn as safety glasses if they meet the ANSI standard. If not, then safety glasses must be worn over the eyeglasses. Head Hard hats must always be worn on the jobsite. This is especially important where overhead work is taking place. All hard hats are required to conform to ANSI Z WARNING Always use and wear a hard hat according to manufacturer s recommendations. Do not drill holes. Gloves Work gloves must be worn when engaged in work activity that could cause a laceration or puncture wound of the wrists or hands on the jobsite. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Clothing Proper work attire must be worn to protect the body and limbs from lacerations and puncture wounds. Clothing must also be worn to protect the body given jobsite climate conditions. Loose and/or ripped clothing should not be worn to minimize the risk of accident or injury caused by clothing getting caught on the jobsite. Proper work clothing is defined as: Long pants Shirts with sleeves

4 Head R tion s E ction T- R CLOTHING EAR Respiratory Eye Ear Dust Gloves RD at EAR Plugs CLOTHING Clothing Footwear VES FOOT- WEAR Respiratory Puncture-resistant soles Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

5 Ear Ear plugs must be worn on the jobsite when an employee s decibel exposure exceeds 85 decibels. Typical symptoms of exposure to sounds over 85 decibels include: Shouting above noise to make one s voice heard. Ringing in the ears. Difficulty hearing sounds that the employee could hear prior to the noisy activity. CAUTION Ear plugs must be worn correctly to be effective. For proper ear protection, ear plugs should be worn in the following manner: 1) Roll ear plug until it is compressed. 2) Insert the compressed ear plug well into the ear canal. 3) Gently hold each plug in place with fingertip until expansion is complete and ear plug fits snuggly. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

6 Footwear Work shoes with slip-resistant and puncture-resistant soles must be worn on the jobsite at all times. Keep shoes free of oil, mud and other slippery substances. Exception: Tennis/sneaker-type shoes can be worn while working on roofs. WARNING Be aware of ice, dirt and other slip hazards present on the jobsite. Dust A properly fitted, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NISOH) approved dust mask must be worn on the jobsite according to the recommendations specified in the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) of the material from the manufacturer. Employees are responsible for checking the condition of the dust mask before each use. If deemed damaged, ask the supervisor for a replacement. Cut materials in a well-ventilated area (outdoors) whenever possible. CAUTION Dusk masks must be worn correctly to be effective. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

7 Proper Body Mechanics Body mechanics can be described as the efficient use of one s body to produce motion that is safe, energy conserving, and anatomically and physiologically efficient and that leads to the maintenance of a person s body balance and control. Proper use of body mechanics will conserve energy, reduce stress and strain on body structures, reduce the possibility of personal injury, and produce movements that are safe. Employees are not required to lift heavy or bulky objects that overtax their physical condition or capability. Mechanical devices must replace lifting and moving objects by manual effort whenever practical, and the devices must be appropriate for the lifting or moving task. Personnel operating equipment designed to lift or move objects must be appropriately trained and authorized to operate such equipment. When manual effort is appropriate for lifting and moving tasks, the following guidelines should be observed. Lifting: Grasp the object firmly and as close to the center as possible. Get set for lifting load, demonstrating good timing. Lift by pushing with the legs; straighten the ankles, knees and hips to an upright position. Do not use your back. Keep the load as close to the body as possible while lifting. Do not twist the body. Change direction when lifting by moving the feet. Carrying: Keep the back as straight as possible. Keep weight load close to the body and centered over the pelvis. Counterbalance the load by shifting part of the body in the opposite direction from the load. Put down the load by bending the hips and knees with the back straight and the load close to the body. If the load is too heavy, get help. When the load is carried by more than one person, identify a leader to ensure good timing and coordination. Proper Body Mechanics

8 Pushing: Stand close to the object to be moved. Crouch down with feet apart. Bend the elbows and put the hands on the load at chest level. Lean forward with the chest or shoulder against the object. Don t push with arms or shoulders. Keep the back straight. Crouch and push with the legs. Pulling: Place the feet apart, one foot in the back of the other, keeping close to the object to be moved. Grasp object firmly as close to its center of gravity as possible. Pull by straightening the legs. Keep the back straight. Walk backward with crouching strides, so the legs do all the work. Reaching: Stand close to the object. Keep center of gravity over the base of support. Place the feet wide apart, one in front of the other, to ensure freedom of movement forward and backward as arms are raised and lowered. Maintain good body alignment. Move close to object. Do not reach outward to the point of straightening. When reaching for an object above the head, grip it with palms up and lower it. Keep it close to the body on the way down. Stooping: Stand close to the object. Place feet apart, with one foot in front of the other, for a firm footing for the task to be done. Bend the hips and knees, lower the body, keep the back in good alignment, and bring the hands down to the object. Proper Body Mechanics
