1. Head Protection |
|
|
Safety Helmets: Inspect for damage, such as cracks or dents, and ensure the inner lining is intact. Check the expiration date as helmets degrade over time. |
|
|
Face Shields: Assess face shields for clarity, structural integrity, and adjustability. Ensure they provide full face coverage and are compatible with other headgear. |
|
|
Eye Protection: Check for anti-fog, scratch-resistant safety glasses or goggles. Ensure they fit well with prescription glasses if necessary and offer side protection. |
|
2. Hand and Arm Protection |
|
|
Gloves: Evaluate gloves for specific hazards like chemical burns, electrical risks, or thermal dangers. Ensure they fit snugly without restricting movement. |
|
|
Arm Guards: Confirm the availability of durable arm guards, particularly for tasks involving metalworking or handling sharp materials. Check for adjustability and comfort. |
|
3. Body Protection |
|
|
High-Visibility Vests: Ensure vests meet visibility standards for the specific work environment, especially for night work or low-light conditions. |
|
|
Protective Clothing: Evaluate clothing for material suitability – flame-resistant for welding, non-reactive for chemical handling, and water-resistant for outdoor work. |
|
|
Aprons: Inspect aprons for appropriate material based on the hazard (rubber for chemicals, leather for welding) and ensure they cover the necessary body parts fully. |
|
4. Foot and Leg Protection |
|
|
Safety Shoes/Boots: Ensure they have non-slip soles, and puncture-resistant material, and provide adequate ankle support. Check for signs of sole wear or upper material damage. |
|
|
Leg Guards: Check for ease of movement and protection level. Ensure they do not hinder mobility and provide ample protection against impacts and cuts. |
|
5. Respiratory Protection |
|
|
Masks and Respirators: Assess if they are suitable for the type of airborne hazard (dust, chemicals, vapors). Check the seal and fit, especially for half or full-face respirators. |
|
|
Fit and Condition: Regularly test the fit, especially after changes in facial hair or weight. Check the condition of valves, straps, and seals. Ensure cartridges are specific to the hazards and replaced regularly. |
