2.3 Personal protective equipment
Description of personal protective equipment
Hearing protection
Hearing protection protects against hearing damage
resulting from noise exposure.
Industrial safety helmet
Industrial safety helmets protect the head from falling
objects, suspended loads, and the effects of striking the
head against stationary objects.
Protective clothing
Protective clothing is close-fitting, with low tear resist-
ance, close-fitting sleeves, and no projecting parts.
Protective gloves
Protective gloves protect hands from friction, abrasions,
punctures, deep cuts, and direct contact with hot sur-
faces.
Safety harness
A safety harness protects people from a fall when they
are working at height. You are at risk from a fall if the
task is at height and if there is no railing in place.
When you put on a safety harness, connect it via an
energy-absorbing lanyard to a suitable anchor point.
Safety harnesses must only be used by individuals who
have been specifically trained to use them.
Safety shoes
Safety shoes protect the feet against crushing, falling
parts, and from slipping on slippery ground.
