4n pro"iding safe wor2ing conditions, the use of personal protecti"e e!uipment isthe last line of defense against possible injury. 4t must be recogni5ed that the use of personal protecti"e e!uipment fre!uently reduces or restricts some of our normal sensesthat contribute to our safety awareness. or eample)

• Wearing safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or tinted goggles restricts

normal "ision.

• Earmuffs or plugs reduce hearing capability.

• se of respiratory e!uipment fre!uently restricts "ision.

• Wearing glo"es reduces the sense of feel.

• The discomfort of wearing many protecti"e items is distracting to users.

HE6D PROTECTION

%ecause of the danger of falling or flying material, or impact with fied or mo"ingobjects, the wearing of non-conducting safety hats throughout the construction site arenormally mandatory.

E7E 6ND )6CE PROTECTION

Eposure to airborne physical, chemical or radiation agents that could injure theeyes or face re!uires protection. *efer to *ule /0B1 of the $#$. At each constructionsite consideration should be gi"en to mandatory eye protection for certain areas or theentire site if conditions warrant and eye injuries will be reduced. 'ontact lenses do notconstitute eye protection, and actually pose a ha5ard to the user in some situations.'onse!uently, their use on site is strongly discouraged.

RESPIR6TOR7 PROTECTION


13/59


&hysical or chemical contaminants in the air that are harmful if ingested bybreathing and@or possible oygen deficiency re!uire the use of respiratory e!uipment.This e!uipment that fits o"er the nose, nose and mouth, or entire face can be broadlyclassified by its intended function.

The suppliers of canisters and filters identify them for the types of en"ironmentthey are effecti"e in, and limit their use. These instructions must be obser"ed for proper protection.

Anybody ecepted to use fresh air mas2s in the course of their wor2 shall begi"en training and practice in the proper methods of wearing and operating thise!uipment.

HE6RIN5 PROTECTION

#igh noise le"els pose the long-range health ha5ard of loss of hearing toeposed wor2ers. &ermissible noise eposures are gi"en in Table Bb of the $#$.

%ecause of the changing acti"ities and conditions, periodic monitoring for the noisele"els throughout the construction site are re!uired. When noise le"els abo"epermissible le"el are obser"ed, the preferred course of action is to control or isolate thenoise source thus reducing it to a permissible le"el for eposed wor2ers. 4f it isimpractical to do this, hearing protection shall be pro"ided for eposed employees.Earmuffs or plugs of material designed for sound muffling shall be used.

OD7 PROTECTION

or most wor2s in a construction site, wor2 clothing that co"ers the body, legsand arms is ade!uate. Wor2ers that are eposed to heat, spar2s or molten metal shouldbe aware that some clothing materials are more flammable than others, i.e. some

synthetic fibers ignite and burn more readily than natural cloth fibers. $uits or apronssuitable for the eposure to etreme heat, toic chemicals, or acids shall be pro"ided if wor2 conditions re!uire.

)OOT PROTECTION

4t is ad"isable for all wor2ers on a construction site to wear safety shoesbecause of the many ha5ards eposing feet to injury. 4n addition, used of boots may bere!uired when wor2 is in water or feet are eposed to chemical or acids.

A permit-to-wor2 ensures a formal chec2 is underta2en to ma2e sure all the elements of

a safe system of wor2 are in place before people are allowed to enter or wor2 in the

confined space. 4t is also a means of communication between site management,

super"isors, and those carrying out the ha5ardous wor2. Essential features of a permit-

to-wor2 are)

H clear identification of who may authorise particular jobs :and any limits to their

authority6 and who is responsible for specifying the necessary precautions :eg

isolation, air testing, emergency arrangements etc67

O@$er/atio!$+ E"ery wal2around should start with an obser"ation of wor2. This

is essential and is what differentiates wal2arounds from more typical compliance-

based inspections. The wor2 obser"ed can be anything from computer use in an

office space to ha5ardous process operations. This is the managers choice

based on percei"ed ris2 or importance. bser"ations should generally last from

/0 to ;0 minutes and minimi5e wor2 disruption as much as possible. ften

wor2ers will stop what they are doing when managers appear on the scene. 4f

this happens, wor2ers should be re!uested to return to wor2 so the obser"ation


28/59


can continue. Wor2ers should be epecting their managers "ia prior

communications. There is always some s2ewing of wor2 performance when

managers are present, but eperience shows that this distortion diminishes

dramatically o"er time as wor2ers come to epect management obser"ations as

a matter of course and "iew them positi"ely.

De#o$+ ccasionally managers arri"e at a wor2place only to find that the wor2

has been completed or delayed. Although not as useful as actual wor2

obser"ations, a >demo? is often a good obser"ation alternati"e in these cases.

Demos are where managers as2 the employees to show them the wor2 steps

without actually performing them. This is somewhat easier if the wor2 is go"erned

by a procedure. anagers can then as2 !uestions li2e >#ow do you do thisL? and

>'an you show meML? to obtain a better understanding of the wor2.

Wor2 discussions should ser"e first to put employees at ease and then to

mutually identify potential opportunities for impro"ing the safety of the wor2.

The following are a few sample !uestions managers might as2 during the

wal2arounds)

/. What part of your job do you consider the most ha5ardousL

1. What is the worst thing that could happen if something went wrong as a result

of this wor2L

This often results in fi"e to ten steps.The steps are listed in chronological order, listing the first thing that must bedone, then what comes net, and so on.

1. The second component of a $A is to list all the ha5ards that are in"ol"ed in eachstep. There may be many ha5ards that get listed net to some steps and may notbe any associated with some steps.

;. The third step is to write down how each ha5ard will be eliminated or controlled.
