If gloves are required for the job… Ø Choose a glove that is best suited for the job Ø Follow the manufacturer’s instructions Ø Inspect and test gloves for defects before using them Ø Ensure your gloves fit properly Ø When working with chemicals, review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Remember to wash the gloves before taking them off 10
Protective Headwear Regulations • Protective headwear — construction project site. A worker at a construction project site must wear protective headwear that meets the requirements of CSA Standard Z 94. 1 -05, Industrial. Protective Headwear — Performance, selection, care and use or ANSI Standard Z 89. 1 -2003, American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection. 11
Eye and Face Protection Ø The Act requires that workers be provided with and use suitable eye protection when engaged in work which constitutes a hazard to the eyes or face. Ø Typical hazards include flying objects and particles, splashing liquids, molten metal and ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation. 12
Respiratory Hazards and Respirators Ø Working in atmospheres with impure air, you need… Air Purifying equipment - Mechanical filters (dust masks); chemical cartridge respirators and gas masks. These respirators are not to be worn in oxygen deficient atmospheres. Ø Working in oxygen deficient atmospheres, you need… Air supplying equipment - Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) and stationary air supply. All respirators should be approved by a testing agency such as - NIOSH, MHSA, CSA or ANSI. Safe Work Bulletin, SF for Safe Farms #5 Grain/Crop Dusts Respiratory Protection. 13
Protective Footwear Ø Manitoba Regulations require that protective footwear be worn by all workers who may be exposed to the risk of a foot injury. Ø Hazards include falling objects, moving machinery, sharp objects, electrical contacts, abrasives. Ø The CSA logo can only be applied to the footwear when they meet the performance criteria. Ø Selecting the right type and fit of footwear is essential. 14
Fall Protection Systems ØTravel-restraint systems limit a worker’s movement so the worker is unable to reach a location where there is a risk of falling. ØFall-arrest systems allows the person to be protected by falling only short distances and waiting rescue. 15
