23. 1910.135(a) General requirements
 (1) Ensure that each employee
wears a protective helmet when
working in areas where there is a
potential for injury to the head
from falling objects

24. Head Protection
 While hard hats are not usually
required while working in the Plant,
they must be worn by:
 Personnel near or around work being
performed overhead (e.g., on
ladders, scaffolds, high lifts)
 Personnel working under mezzanines
with open grate flooring.
 Personnel in any work situation
where the potential for falling of
flying objects exist

25. Head Protection
Protective hats are made in the following types and classes:
Type 1 – helmets with full brim, not less than 1 and ¼ inches
wide
Type 2 – brimless helmets with a peak extending forward from
the crown.
For industrial purposes, three classes are recognized:
Class A – general service, limited voltage protection
Class B – utility service, high-voltage protection
Class C – special service, no voltage protection

26. Hard Hats Continued
 The ANSI Standard referenced in these
Standards has been updated.
 The current version of the ANSI standard
Z89.1 references a change in class
lettering and numbering.
 Glass G (General) replaces Class A
helmets are proof tested at 2,200 volts.
 Class E (Electrical), replaces Class B
helmets are proof tested at 20,000 volts.
 C (Conductive) remains Class C
provides no electrical insulation; the alpha
designation did not change from the old
standard.

27. Head Protection
• Hard hats must be worn with the bill
forward.
– Protects the face and nose.
• The shell must be clean and free
from significant scratches, dents and
abrasions.
• The harness must be fully intact,
installed properly into the shell and
there must be a one-(1) inch
minimum head space between the
hard hat suspension and the inside of
the shell.

32.  Ensure that each affected
employee uses protective
footwear when working in areas
where there is:

due to falling or rolling objects, or
 Objects piercing the sole, and
 Where such employee's feet are
exposed to electrical hazards
1910.136(a) General requirements

33. SAFETY SHOES
♦Steel toe safety shoes are recommended for
protection from falling objects
♦Should have oil / slip resistant soles and heels
♦Durable uppers

44. Hearing Protection
29 CFR 1910.95 & MIOSHA 380

45. Hearing Protection
 There are three types of
hearing protection – ear
muffs, earplugs and ear
caps.
 Ear muffs and earplugs
provide about equal
protection, ear caps
somewhat less.
Types of Hearing Protection
earmuffs
earplugs
ear caps

46. Hearing Protection
 Earplugs are made of foam,
rubber or plastic and are
either one-size-fits-all or in
sizes small, medium and
large.
 Some are disposable, some
are reusable which must be
washed daily.
 They are lightweight, and
require no maintenance.
 They are inserted into the
ear canal.
Hearing Protection – Ear Plugs

47. Hearing Protection
 All hearing protectors are
designed to reduce the
intensity (loudness) of
noise to the inner ear.
 Wads of cotton, bits of
cloth, or gum stuffed in the
ear are not appropriate
protection.
Types of Hearing Protectors
Cotton doesn’t work!!

48. Hearing Protection
Foam type earplugs are one-size-fits-all and must be
inserted properly into the ear.
Inserting Foam Earplugs
Roll earplug into small cylinder first, then insert in ear.

49. Hearing Protection
Inserting Foam Earplugs
Earplug incorrectly inserted Earplug correctly inserted

50. Hearing Protection
Proper Use of Hearing Protection
It won’t protect your ears if it is not worn properly!!!

51. Hearing Protection
 It takes just a few minutes of
unprotected exposure at noise
above 85 decibels to risk
hearing damage.
 Earplugs not well inserted into
the ear canal will not provide
complete protection.
 Likewise, earmuffs not snug
against the head will “leak”
noise into the ear.
Proper Use of Hearing Protection

52. Hearing Protection
 Hearing aids do not block out
enough sound for most
workplace noise.
 Some hearing aids can actually
increase the noise level at the
ear.
 Just turning off the hearing
aids will not prevent further
hearing loss from noise
exposure.
Hearing Aids Are Not Hearing Protection

53. Hearing Protection
Portable Radios/CD Players
“Walkmans” do not provide protection
from noise.
The earphones are not earmuffs and the
music only adds to background other
noise.

54. SAFETY HAS NO FINAL DESTINATION
IT IS A CONTINUOUS JOURNEY

SUPERVISOR ABOUT JOB
