Train Your Supervisors in Proper Hazard Assessment and Selection of PPE … for Just $99!
Most safety experts agree that there’s one thing worse than employees not wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when they need it:
That’s wearing the wrong PPE.
The reason: The wrong PPE creates an “illusion of safety,” tempting workers into taking risks they’d never take without the equipment, only to find that they’re not protected until it’s too late.
In many companies, the choice of PPE and the management responsibility for its care and use is usually left to supervisors. That makes it vital that they be trained in correctly assessing the hazards in their areas, and in correctly choosing the PPE to deal with those hazards.
Helping your supervisors do this correctly is BLR’s clear and thorough PowerPoint® program, Personal Protective Equipment: Hazard Assessment and Selection.
The 28-slide program is built in two parts:
Part 1: Hazard Assessment
The first part trains supervisors to completely assess the dangers in their workplaces, listing many often overlooked. Here’s what it covers:
--Hazards to the eyes and face, including flying chips, fumes and gases, and the often-underrated danger of strong light radiation (as in welding or laser operations)
--Hazards to the head, including falling objects, electrical contact, and low-hanging obstructions
--Hazards to the feet, including slippery surfaces, moving or rolling machinery, chemicals and extreme weather
--Hazards to the hands, including thermal and chemical burns, cuts and lacerations
--Respiratory hazards, including gases, fumes, particles, or the invisible hazard of lack of sufficient oxygen
Part II: PPE Selection:
The second half of the program details the different types of PPE available, and for what conditions each should be used. Here’s some of what’s covered:
--Eyewear, covering safety glasses, goggles, and face shields; what to do about the need for prescription lenses; and the importance of selecting equipment meeting ANSI Standard Z87. Also covers how to ensure proper fit, care, and maintenance.
--Respiratory PPE, from simple dust masks through air-purifying respirators to sophisticated SCBA apparatus. Slides explain the concept of permissible exposure limit (PEL) and how to monitor for it. Also emphasizes the importance of using only NIOSH-certified equipment.
--Head protection, including the different types of hard hats (Types I, II, Classes E, G, and C) and emphasizing use of the appropriate design for the situation and the importance of certification under ANSI Standard Z89.
--Hand protection PPE, describing the various types of gloves and their uses, as well as their care and maintenance.
--Foot protection, covering steel-toed shoes, the importance of metatarsal protection, special shoes for chemical and cold-weather applications, and the need to be sure work shoes meet ANSI standard Z41.
--Protective clothing, stressing the importance of wearing long sleeves, long pants, and outerwear appropriate to the weather, and the banning of loose or dangling clothing or jewelry that could become ensnared in machinery.
Plus These Additional Materials
These two sections of the program form the heart of the program. But they are only part of the program. BLR’s PPE: Hazard Assessment and Selection also includes these additional materials:
--Full slide show notes. Simply read them aloud as the slides are screened to enhance and add to the information.
--Interactive exercises, asking your trainees to actually select appropriate PPE for given situations.
--A full set of reproducibles, including handouts, a quick quiz with immediate answers, and a course completion certificate to test, round out, and reinforce the learning when your supervisors return to the job.
--Trainer’s Guide packed with added information on the subject and on the key principles of adult learning.
