PPE Personal Protective Equipment Safety
Orientation
2
Think about Personal Protective Equipment as
the last choice when
protecting you from a hazard.
When a task or job assignment presents a hazard
to the individual performing work, the
Companys first action is to try to find a way to
REMOVE the hazard through engineering or other
controls. If this cannot be done, the next step
is to try to REDUCE the amount of exposure to a
level that makes it safe to perform the work.
3
Different jobs assignments require DIFFERENT
TYPES of PPE.
The work you perform determines the PPE you need.
For example, maintenance employees frequently
will need additional different PPE than
production workers. And nail gun operators or
anyone spraying a chemical product will need
special PPE. EVERYONE wears hearing protection
safety glasses with side shields in all
production areas of each facility.
4
Personal Protective Equipment is protection from
hazards that cant be
avoided any other way.
For some kinds of work you simply cannot
eliminate or limit a hazard to make it safe. For
example, when using a nail gun there always is
the chance of a piece of metal, wood or dust
flying up into your eyes. Thats why SAFETY
GLASSES with side shields are always required
for this task.
5
Think about Personal Protective Equipment as a
barrier a shield keeping
a hazard AWAY from your body.
There are many kinds of PPE designed approved
for keeping different specific hazards
away from your eyes, face, ears, hands, feet
whichever part of the body is at risk. At
Trussway, specific tasks job assignments have
been identified where PPE is required. The
company provides PPE at NO COST to employees.

WHY You are taking this training

• You need to know
• What tasks jobs at Trussway require the use of
  PPE
• How to properly select use the PPE required
• How to check, clean maintain your PPE
• The limitations of PPE when NOT to use it
• Who to ask if you need or have questions about
  PPE

7
By the end of this orientation, you will know

• Trussways policies procedures regarding PPE
• Specific areas where PPE is required when working
• The types selections of PPE required for this
  work
• The consequences of not using PPE properly
• Ways that you can help protect yourself others
• How you will be informed if PPE requirements
  change, or if new PPE requirements are
  established

8
OSHA Standard 1910.132 Personal Protective
Equipment Its the law!

• Trussway has rules safe work procedures for the
  proper selection use of PPE to protect YOU
  other employees individuals important to their
  families the company
• Federal state safety laws require employers to
  establish enforce PPE requirements for the
  workplace
• These same laws require employees to follow
  company safety rules procedures regarding PPE

9
Training to select use PPE means Knowing What
Youre Doing!

• Using personal protective equipment requires
  training your ongoing hazard
  awareness
• You must remember that PPE DOES NOT ELIMINATE
  the hazard it only shields you from it
• That means if the equipment fails, exposure can
  occur
• To prevent PPE failure, it must be properly
  fitted maintained in a clean,
  serviceable condition

10
PPE only works when you
Use It Properly!

• To properly select use PPE for a job or task,
  you must understand the equipment's purpose
  limitations
• PPE must not be altered or removed, even though
  you may find it uncomfortable
• Remember Sometimes equipment is uncomfortable
  simply because it does not fit properly
• Any discomfort from using your PPE (sweating,
  binding) is nothing when compared to metal or
  wood going into your eye, losing your good
  hearing or other potential injuries

11
Hard Hat Head Protection Visibility

• Wearing a proper hard hat is
  required when working in the yard
• It protects your head from overhead
  hazards (others working above
  you, places
  where objects can
  drop down on you)
• Bright-colored hard hats also give
  you additional visibility in
  the yard where forklifts other
  moving equipment are being used

12
Head Injuries You may not see it coming
Its often difficult to anticipate, eliminate or
control hazards that can cause a head injury.
Because of potential hazards situations that
may result in a head injury while working in the
yard, head protection is required.
13
Dont mess With Your Hard Hat!

• Each hard hat is specially engineered to do
  certain things if something hits you on the head
• There is an internal cradle of headband and
  sweatband that suspend the hard hat away from
  your head, creating a safety zone a cushion of
  protection
• Dont change, drill holes, paint or store things
  inside of your hardhat it can compromise the
  engineered protection place you at greater risk

14
Eye Protection You only have 2 eyes
How important is eye protection? How important
is your sight? An eye? There are jobs specific
tasks in the
workplace that the company
has identified as having potential
eye injury hazards. Thats why eye protection is
MANDATORY when performing this kind of work.
15
Eye injuries happen in a
BLINK!
Eye burn from mild acid injury
It only takes a brief, unlucky
moment to change your life
cost you your sight. CAUTION
safety are always important. PREVENTION comes
first. Next, eye protection provides a practical
BARRIER to the hazard just in case.
Nail penetrating the eye
16
Eye injuries happen in a
BLINK!
The company provides eye protection suitable for
work to be performed. Employees must use this
protection!
17

• Regular sun glasses eyewear wont provide
  impact protection
• Safety eyewear will have ANSI Z87.1
  stamped or marked on the frame lens
• Even prescription glasses are NOT safety glasses
  if they dont have the ANSI Z87.1 identification

18
Safety Glasses Side Shields protect you from

• Direct exposure to wind-blown dust debris
• Sawdust particles wood chips at or around saws
• Nails deflected particles during nail gun
  operations
• Limited protection from splashes of acids or
  caustics
• Flash fire burns to the eyes

Tight-fitting safety glasses with a seal,
splash goggles a face shield are your
best protection from chemical burn hazards
19

• Chemical splash goggles
• Face shield (always used with safety goggles or
  glasses)
• Along with other PPE precautions as needed
• Hand protection (i.e. gloves selected based on
  chemical)
• Body protection (i.e. apron, arm covers based on
  chemical)
• Good ventilation to protect breathing

20
SPLASH GOGGLES keep liquid, spray
dust hazards from damaging your eyes.
Goggles come in a number of different styles
eyecups, flexible or cushioned goggles, plastic
eye-shield goggles just to name a few. They are
manufactured in several styles for specific uses
such as protecting against dusts splashes,
and in chippers, welders,
cutters models. Goggles also must have the ANSI
Z87.1 rating.
21
FACE SHIELDS are an additional type
of protection, always used with glasses or
goggles.
Safety glasses splash goggles are
classified as primary protection. A face
shield is classified as
secondary protection must be used in
conjunction with primary protection. Face shields
also must have the ANSI Z87.1 rating. They are
designed to go over the other protection and give
an extra margin of safety.
22
CONCERNS about contact lenses. They may present
additional risks for certain work.
Its usually safe to wear contact lenses while at
work. But there ARE exceptions like when a
task exposes you to chemicals, splashes, dusts,
particles, vapors or fumes. You dont want
these kinds of things to get behind your
contacts held against your eyes. When choosing
PPE, tell your supervisor that you wear contacts.
Caustic burn injury contact lenses can
hold a corrosive chemical against your eye keep
water from flushing it away
23
HEARING PROTECTION is another type of PPE that
is explained during special training.
Cutting lumber building trusses can be noisy
work. Thats why Trussway has established a
Hearing Conservation Program to protect
employees. You will receive a special orientation
about this program. Just remember Use of hearing
protection is required in
.
ALL PRODUCTION AREAS
24
HAND PROTECTION
Keeping fingers together
attached. .
The math is easy 2 hands 10 fingers. The
trick is to keep any of these
from getting cut,
scraped, burned
or subtracted. You need
to go home at the end
of the day with as
many hands

fingers as you came to work with. Hand protection
safety procedures help.
25
GLOVE SELECTION
Choose the glove based on the
hazard. .
Selecting a glove for hand protection is easy,
but you
DO need to think about the task. When handling
lumber the hazard is
splinters sharp
pieces, the glove has
to be heavy tough enough
to shield
you from the sharps. The same goes

for handling truss plates. But someone working
with a corrosive
liquid would get little
protection from a fabric or leather glove.
They need a chemical-resistant material.
26
HAND PROTECTION
Keeping fingers together
attached. .
Hand protection means knowing when what kind of
protective gloves to wear for specific tasks. It
also means knowing when NOT to wear gloves when
working. Finger hand injuries are painful

can be disabling. Cuts, amputation,
smashed bones,
severed nerves, disrupted blood

circulation these can change

your life forever.
27
DONT WEAR A GLOVE
When it could get your hand
pulled into danger. .
Wearing gloves, jewelry or loose-fitting
clothing when working near
moving parts
operating equipment is
an extreme
hazard. Even a safety glove can get caught
in a gear, fan
belt or saw blade
pull your hand into a serious injury
or
amputation.
28
FOOT SAFETY
Protecting feet preventing falls.
Sturdy shoes in good condition are required
in all work areas. Good shoes with
slip-resistant soles
give you protection from cuts abrasions
in case you walk against a sharp edge
or splintered
lumber. Canvas, fabric or tennis shoes, sandals
non-soled shoes such as
moccasins are PROHIBITED in work areas.
29
DUST MASKS
frequently used for working with chemicals

• Respirators can protect you against designated
  hazards when properly selected and worn.
• Respirator use is encouraged, even when exposures
  are below the exposure limit, to provide an
  additional level of comfort and protection for
  workers.
• However, if a respirator is used improperly or
  not kept clean, the respirator itself can become
  a hazard.
• Sometimes, workers may wear respirators to avoid
  exposures to hazards, even if the amount of
  hazardous substance does not exceed the limits
  set by OSHA standards.
• If the company provides respirators for your
  voluntary use, or if you provide your own
  respirator, you need to take certain precautions
  to be sure that the respirator itself does not
  present a hazard.

30
DUST MASKS
Information you must know before use

• You should do the following
• Read and heed all instructions provided by the
  manufacturer on use, maintenance, cleaning and
  care, and warnings regarding the respirators
  limitations.
• Choose respirators certified for use to protect
  against the contaminant of concern. NIOSH, the
  National Institute for Occupational Safety and
  Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
  Services, certifies respirators. A label or
  statement of certification should appear on the
  respirator or respirator packaging. It will tell
  you what the respirator is designed for and how
  much it will protect you.
• If the company provides respirators for your
  voluntary use, or if you provide your own
  respirator, you need to take certain precautions
  to be sure that the respirator itself does not
  present a hazard.
• Keep track of your respirator so that you do not
  mistakenly use someone else's respirator.

Trussway requires all new hires to review sign
Appendix D to Sec. 1910.134 (Mandatory)
Information for Employees Using
Respirators When Not Required Under the Standard
31
Special training is required before you use a
RESPIRATOR
DO NOT use a cartridge-type respirator,
or any respiratory protection that is
labeled respirator on
its packaging, until
you have had special training. Check with your
supervisor
for authorization before using any
respirator.
