USING PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
Today, we're going to play a fun game
called"Baamboozle" We're playing Bamboozle to learn
about Personal Protective Equipment! I've picked a game
for us, and it's on the screen now
Baamboozle Mechanics:
Here's how it works: Each of you will take turns
choosing a number on the game board. That number
will reveal a question. Answer it correctly, and you get
points! Get it wrong, and no points for you.
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, atleast 85% of the students
should be able to;
a. identify and describe the different
types of PPE used in industrial arts.
b. demonstrate the proper selection, use,
and care of PPE.
c. understanding of the importance of
safety and a positive attitude towards
using PPE.
CLASS RULES
•Find a quiet place to focus.
•Mute your mic when you're not speaking.
•Raise your hand to ask questions.
•Be respectful
•Participate
WHAT IS PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT?
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is
gear you wear to stay safe from hazards
at work. It can include things like hard
hats, safety glasses, gloves, respirators,
and more. PPE helps protect you from
injuries or illnesses caused by things like
chemicals, falling objects, or loud noises.
PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment
(PPE) is protective clothing,
helmets, goggles, or other garments
or equipment designed to protect
the wearer's body from injury or
infection.
Why Personal Protective
Equipment is Important?
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is important
because it helps keep workers safe from hazards that
could cause injury or illness.
- Prevents Injuries
- Protects Health
- Complies with Regulations
- Increases Confidence
In short, PPE is a vital part of workplace safety,
helping to keep workers healthy and able to do
their jobs safely.
WHAT IS PPE?
• Clothing and accessories
• Create a barrier
• Head protection
• Eye and Face protective
• Hearing protection
• Hand protection
• Foot protection
• Fall protection
Work Practice Controls
Employers can change the work process
Examples:
• Engineering Controls
• Machine Guarding
• Job Rotation

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT PPE?
ABOUT PPE
You should know
• Limitations of PPE
• How to use PPE
• When to use PPE
• Inspect PPE before use
• Replacement of PPE
• Cleaning & Storage of PPE
PPE Limitations
PPE acts as a barrier between you and a hazard
PPE will not protect you if it is:
not designed for the specific hazard
damaged or worn
not adjusted properly
Using PPE
For PPE to be effective in protecting you
Use it in the manner you have been trained
Use it only for the specific hazards for its
design
Inspect before using
Before you use your PPE, inspect it for:
• Worn or damaged parts
• Leaks, cracks or deformities
• Cleanliness
• Correct size
Replace
Replace PPE
• If any PPE is damaged or worn
• Get it repaired or replaced immediately
• Do not work without replacement PPE
• Tell your supervisor you need new PPE
Cleaning & Storage
Clean your PPE regularly
Do not store it where it will be in contact with:
• Dust & Dirt
• Chemicals
• Sunlight
• Water
Written PPE Program
A written PPE Program should be establish for
the job
Two basic objectives of a
PPE Program
• Protect the wearer
• Prevent injury
Eye and Face Protection
Protecting your eyes
• Your eyes are very sensitive organs and may be
easily injured. Eye Hazards include:
• Chemical Splashes
• Flying dust, chips, sparks
• High Heat
• Intense or UV light
Specific hazards include…
IMPACT - Chipping, grinding machining,
masonry work, woodworking, sawing,
drilling, chiseling, powered fastening,
riveting, and sanding.
HEAT - Furnace operations, pouring,
casting, hot dipping, welding
LIGHT or RADIATION - Electric arc
welding, gas welding, gas cutting
IRRITANTS / CORROSIVES - mists,
dusts, sprays, splashes
Face Protection
• Use a faceshield when any of
the following hazards exist:
• Chemical splashes
• Liquid spray
• Flying chips or sparks
• High Heat requires
special faceshield
When using a faceshield…
• Always use the correct type eye
protection with a face shield
• A faceshield is NOT designed
to protect your eyes
Types of Eye Protection
Safety Glasses – for flying
chips & low hazards
Vented Goggles – for dust and
non-hazardous mist
Non-Vented Goggles –
hazardous chemicals
Dark Lenses – intense or UV
light
Inspection/maintenance of eye
protection
• Keep lenses clean
• Daily inspection and cleaning
• Replace pitted lenses
• Headbands
• Storage
HEAD
PROTECTION
Hardhats…
Hard hats are needed to
protect against
• Falling objects
• Accidental impact
Use an electrically rated hard hat
when there is a potential for
contact with live circuits
Head Protection
• Resist penetration
• Absorb the shock of a blow
• ANSI Standards Z89.1
Protective Hat Types
• Type 1
• Type 2
• Three Classes
• Class G
• Class E
• Class C
Type 1 Helmets intended to reduce the force of impact
resulting from a blow only to the top of the head.
Type 2 Helmets intended to reduce the force of impact
resulting from a blow that may be received foff center or
to the top of the head
Three Classes:
G= Helmets are intended to reduce the danger of
contact exposure to low voltage conductors 2,200 volts.
E= Helmets are intended to reduce the danger of
exposure to high voltage conductors 20,000 volts. C=
Helmets are not intended to provide protection against
contact with electrial conductors.
Helmet construction
• Water Resistant
• Slow Burning
• Shell and suspension
• Adjustable headbands
Replace your hard hat if…
• The suspension system shows signs of
deterioration such as:
• Cracking,
• Tearing, or
• Fraying
• The suspension system no longer holds the
shell from 1 inch to 1 1/4 inches away from
the head.
Replace your hard hat if… (continued)
• The brim or shell is
cracked, perforated, or
deformed.
• The brim or shell shows
signs of exposure to heat,
chemicals, ultraviolet light,
or other radiation. Signs
include:
• Loss of surface gloss
• Chalking
• Flaking
Helmet maintenance and inspection
• Cleaning helmets
• Inspect daily
• Exposure to unusual
conditions
• Storage
FOOT PROTECTION
Foot Hazards
• Heavy objects such as barrels
or tools that might roll onto or
fall onto your feet
• Sharp objects such as nails or
spikes that might pierce the
soles or uppers of ordinary
shoes
• Molten metal that might splash
• Hot, slippery or wet surfaces
• Corrosive Chemicals
Hazardous conditions…
IMPACT - Carrying or handling materials such as
packages, objects, parts or heavy tools which could
be dropped
COMPRESSION - Work activities involving skid trucks,
manual material handling carts, around bulk rolls,
around heavy pipes
PUNCTURE - Sharp object hazards such as nails,
wire, tacks, screws, large staples, & scrap metal

on bottom
• Separation between soles and uppers
HAND
PROTECTION
Why use hand protection?
• Burns
• Cuts
• Electrical shock
• Amputation
• Absorption of chemicals
Types of hand protection
Glove selection
• Not all gloves are created
equal…. Ensure the glove
you use will protect your
hands from the specific
hazards of the job
• Chemical gloves do not last
forever… understand the
chemical and “break-through”
characteristics of your
specific glove
Before you use…
• Do not wear gloves if they
can be caught in machinery
• Use the proper glove for
the task
• Remove rings & bracelets
• Check gloves for wear and
damage
Electrical glove checks
• Hole, tear, puncture, or cut
• Ozone cutting or ozone
checking
• An embedded foreign object
• Swelling, softening, hardening,
or becoming sticky or inelastic
• Any other defect that damages
the insulating properties
• AIR TEST before each use
HEARING
PROTECTION
Protect your hearing…
Use hearing protection
when:
• in high noise areas
• using power saws, &
impact tools
• off the job when
shooting, & using
power tools
Replace worn or broken
hearing protectors
immediately
Types of Hearing Protectors
Hearing protection must
• Be kept clean
• Fit snugly against the
head or in the ear
• Have no gaps or breaks
FALL
PROTECTION
Fall Protection Equipment
• Life Lines
• Safety Harness
• Lanyards
• Self Retracting Lanyards
Fall equipment
SPECIALIZED
PROTECTION
Other Hazards and Appropriate PPE
• Working Around Water
Requires Life Jackets
• Low Light and Moving
Vehicles Require
Retroreflective garments
SUMMARY
Protect yourself…
Use the right PPE for the Hazard
Inspect your PPE before using
Replace damaged or worn PPE
Store your PPE properly so it will be ready
for the next use
Keep your PPE clean
Notify your supervisor if you need new PPE
Thankyou!
Directions:
Print and Play: Print out the crossword
puzzle and have participants solve it
individually or in teams. After
completing the puzzle, discuss the
importance of one chosen PPE in
across and down and
how it protects workers. Share real-

prevented injuries or illnesses in the
workplace. The group that can provide
the correct answer and a clear
explanation will be given a substantial
point.
