PPE REG's

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:11:11 GMT

Protective equipment (PPE) at work and this document, explains what you need to do to meet the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (as amended). What is PPE? PPE is defined in the Regulations as ‘all equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work and which protects him against one or more risks to his health or safety’, eg safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses. Hearing protection and respiratory protective equipment provided for most work situations are not covered by these Regulations because other regulations apply to them. However, these items need to be compatible with any other PPE provided. Cycle helmets or crash helmets worn by employees on the roads are not covered by the Regulations. Motorcycle helmets are legally required for motorcyclists under road traffic legislation. What do the Regulations require? The main requirement of the PPE at Work Regulations 1992 is that personal protective equipment is to be supplied and used at work wherever there are risks to health and safety that cannot be adequately controlled in other ways. The Regulations also require that PPE: is properly assessed before use to ensure it is suitable; is maintained and stored properly; is provided with instructions on how to use it safely; and is used correctly by employees. Can I charge for providing PPE? An employer cannot ask for money from an employee for PPE, whether it is returnable or not. This includes agency workers if they are legally regarded as your employees. If employment has been terminated and the employee keeps the PPE without the employer’s permission, then, as long as it has been made clear in the contract of employment, the employer may be able to deduct the cost of the replacement from any wages owed. Assessing suitable PPE To allow the right type of PPE to be chosen, carefully consider the different hazards in the workplace. This will enable you to assess which types of PPE are suitable to protect against the hazard and for the job to be done. Ask your supplier for advice on the different types of PPE available and how suitable they are for different tasks. It may be necessary in a few particularly difficult cases to obtain advice from specialist sources and from the PPE manufacturer. Another useful source of information is the British Safety Industry Federation ( www.bsif.co.uk ). Consider the following when assessing whether PPE is suitable: Is it appropriate for the risks involved and the conditions at the place where exposure to the risk may occur? For example, eye protection designed for providing protection against agricultural pesticides will not offer adequate face protection for someone using an angle grinder to cut steel or stone. Does it prevent or adequately control the risks involved without increasing the overall level of risk? Can it be adjusted to fit the wearer correctly? Has the state of health of those who will be wearing it been taken into account? What are the needs of the job and the demands it places on the wearer? For example, the length of time the PPE needs to be worn, the physical effort required to do the job and the requirements for visibility and communication. If more than one item of PPE is being worn, are they compatible? For example, does a particular type of respirator make it difficult to get eye protection to fit properly? The hazards and types of PPE Eyes Hazards: chemical or metal splash, dust, projectiles, gas and vapour, radiation. Options: safety spectacles, goggles, faceshields, visors. Head Hazards: impact from falling or flying objects, risk of head bumping, hair entanglement. Options: a range of helmets and bump caps. Breathing Hazards: dust, vapour, gas, oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Options: disposable filtering facepiece or respirator, half- or full-face respirators, air-fed helmets, breathing apparatus. Protecting the body Hazards: temperature extremes, adverse weather, chemical or metal splash, spray from pressure leaks or spray guns, impact or penetration, contaminated dust, excessive wear or entanglement of own clothing. Options: conventional or disposable overalls, boiler suits, specialist protective clothing, eg chain-mail aprons, high-visibility clothing. Hands and arms Hazards: abrasion, temperature extremes, cuts and punctures, impact, chemicals, electric shock, skin infection, disease or contamination. Options: gloves, gauntlets, mitts, wristcuffs, armlets. Feet and legs Hazards: wet, electrostatic build-up, slipping, cuts and punctures, falling objects, metal and chemical splash, abrasion. Options: safety boots and shoes with protective toe caps and penetration-resistant mid-sole, gaiters, leggings, spats. Training Make sure anyone using PPE is aware of why it is needed, when it is to be used, repaired or replaced and its limitations. Train and instruct people how to use it properly and make sure they are doing this. Because PPE is the last resort after other methods of protection have been considered, it is important that users wear it all the time they are exposed to the risk. Never allow exemptions for those jobs which take ‘just a few minutes’. Check regularly that PPE is being used and investigate fully any reasons why it is not. Safety signs can be useful reminders to wear PPE. Maintenance Make sure equipment is: well looked after and properly stored when it is not being used, for example in a dry, clean cupboard, or in the case of smaller items, such as eye protection, in a box or case; kept clean and in good repair - follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule (including recommended replacement periods and shelf lives). Simple maintenance can be carried out by the trained wearer, but more intricate repairs should only be done by specialists. Make sure suitable replacement PPE is always readily available. CE marking Ensure any PPE you buy is ‘CE’ marked and complies with the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002. The CE marking signifies that the PPE satisfies certain basic safety requirements and in some cases will have been tested and certified by an independent body. Other regulations The PPE at Work Regulations do not apply where the following six sets of regulations require the provision and use of PPE against these hazards. For example, gloves used to prevent dangerous chemicals penetrating the skin would be covered by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (as amended). The regulations are: The Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002. The Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999. The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (as amended). The Noise at Work Regulations 1989. The Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989. Key points to remember Are there ways (other than PPE) in which the risk can be adequately controlled, eg engineering controls? If not, check that: PPE is provided; it offers adequate protection for its intended use; those using it are adequately trained in its safe use; it is properly maintained and any defects are reported; it is returned to its proper storage after use

1,2,3 layer

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:16:44 GMT

The 1,2,3 Layer Principle THE 3-LAYER PRINCIPLE The ProJob 3-layer principle has been developed in collaboration with Craft, one of the world’s leading brands in sports clothes. In physical labour of all kinds it is important to keep dry and at the right temperature. With ProJob functional clothes you feel comfortable throughout the working day. The 3-layer principle enables you to regulate your body temperature yourself by taking off or putting on garments as changing weather or intensity of work demand. Layer 1 Body and fabric work together in this layer. Underclothes let moisture and surplus heat from the skin pass through to the next layer. Layer 2 Layer 2 is the link between the inner and outer layers. Revolutionary materials transport sweat through the fabric and out from the body. Layer 2 also has an insulating effect. Layer 3 The protective shell conserves heat and keeps the effects of weather outside. Sweat evaporates due to the interaction of the garment, the body’s movements and the air. Polyester ProJob functional clothes are worn nearest the body. The material consists of skin-friendly, non-allergenic polyester with a unique capacity for leading moisture away from the body. In combination with a fit snug to the body, this means that you keep drier and that the body maintains a more pleasant working temperature, which is excellent for the most demanding tasks. Maximal ventilation properties. Flat-lock seams to prevent chafi ng. Good elasticity, soft and supple. Low pilling. Recyclable. Excellent for year-round use. Washable at 60ºC. Certifi ed by ÖKO-Tex. Wool/polyester Active wool, for use in work at low temperatures. The material has a channel structure on the inside, which retains heat nearest the skin. The polyester fi bres in the material, in combination with the fit snug to the body, lead moisture out from the body and spread it out on the upper wool layer. Superwashed wool on the outside makes for a material with great insulating properties that don’t itch and always feel dry and warm. Flat-lock seams to prevent chafi ng. Good elasticity, soft and supple. micro Micro (layer 2) is a material that is lighter and suppler than common fl eece, yet still has high insulation and heating capacity. The Micro garments have a soft, brushed inside and a smooth, durable, ripstop-structured outside, where moisture evaporates rapidly. ProJob Micro is the same as Craft’s proven Shift material. Vent air (allround-outfit/pullover trousers) A wind and waterproof material with high moisturetransporting capacity and breathability. Easy to care for and durable. 3,000 mm water column and 4,000 mvp breathability. Soft Shell by ProJob New, unique stretch material for increased mobility and optimal performance. Wind and water-repellent. Breathabilityfor regulation of surplus heat. Heatinsulating.

SAFETY CLOTHES There are many rules that dictate the characteristics safety clothes should have. They have to look a certain way and be of such a quality that the appearance is maintained wash after wash. ProJob safety clothes are designed in accordance with the demands of the user and the appropriate regulations. We have a wide range that offers several different combinations, so that you can dress differently for different occasions. The safety clothes can also be combined with many of our other garments. ProJob aims to develop products that suit everyone at a company. This is why we have put so much effort into designing safety clothes that meet all requirements and are available in all sizes. The trousers are available from a 29-inch waist and all jacket and rain clothes from size XS. Restaurant And Kitchen It is a natural step for us at Projob to launch a new line to the current range. When developing the Kitchen and Restaurant line we have focused on quality, function and design. As a compliment to our existing products in mixed fabric and cotton satin, we wanted to create a unique collection by combining new fabric with great comfort. The Kitchen and Restaurant products have been designed using breathable and functional fabric. Powered by the latest technology, NANO-TEX (read more on page 9); Projob can offer you the necessary garments in the kitchen and restaurant environment. We take great concern in ergonomics and function and want the user to feel better so they can perform at their very best in their daily routines. As far as the design is concerned, we have complemented the classic white and checks with a camoufl age color and pattern. This is not only to create a modern and balder look but also enables the user to wear the clothes longer, even with stains on! 3-LAYER PRINCIPLE The ProJob 3-layer principle has been developed in collaboration with Craft, one of the world’s leading brands in sports clothes. In physical labour of all kinds it is important to keep dry and at the right temperature. With ProJob functional clothes you feel comfortable throughout the working day.

ProJob’s colour-coordinated collections make it easy to create a handsome and varied PROFILE that never grows dull. ProJob PROFILE clothes are above all functional, but stand up well to the appraising eye. INBAGS ™ It was the idea of a more flexible and ergonomic carrying system that gave birth to ProJobs Inbags. We know from our own experience how important it is that the weight of tools is distributed properly over the body. Also of great importance is mobility. When you fi nd yourself in a heavy, tough and at times dangerous situation, nothing must keep you from moving freely. Bag pockets in different sizes, confi gured for different needs, are easily transferred from shirt and trousers pockets to the trousers belt, toolbelt or tool pouch. ProJobs Inbags can be combined with all of the series in our range. ProJobs Inbags provide optimal fl exibility and keep your things in order.
