CATEGORIES OF PPE

Body
Apron, coverall, protective suits
Hand protection
Gloves, barrier cream
Leg protection
Safety shoes/boots
Head & face protection
Helmets, goggles, safety glasses, face shield
Respiratory protection

CATEGORIES OF PPE (contd)

Written program/ respirator program administrator
For SCBA & Confined Space Entry:
Medical Fitness Test
For all respirators except dust mask:
Fit Testing
Inspection/Maintenance/Storage
Training

FIT TEST
1. Pre-Test
- verify the sense of smell
and taste are in good
condition
2. Fit Check
- suitable of size
3. Fit Test
- with cartridge and fit test
kit

PRE-TEST

FIT CHECK
Assure the employee that the
respirator sealing against the
face.

FIT CHECK (contd)

i)

Positive pressure
- wearer breath out gently and feel if air is
escaping around the face, rather than
through respirator.
a) air felt escape around facepiece
repositioned and refit-check
b) does not feel air escaping around the
facepiece - pass
ii) Negative pressure
- wearer gently inhale. This should create
vacuum, causing the respirator to be drawn
on toward face.
a) if respirator not draws in toward the face
remove and examine for any defects, if
none, repositioned and second attempt for
negative pressure.
b) draws in toward face - pass

FIT CHECK (contd)

Positive pressure

Negative pressure

FIT TEST
Place the cartridges onto the
respirator, and the subject should wear
the respirator at least 5 minutes before
the fit test

FIT TEST (contd)

Place the collar and hood over test
subjects head and conduct the fit test
on him.

EYE/SKIN CONTACT
Call for help
Flush eye/ shower body/clothes continuously
with running water
Continue for at least
15 minutes
Alert supervisor or
ERT
Seek medical advice
accompanied with
CSDS

INHALATION
Call for help
Remove from the contaminated area
Move to fresh air (upwind) and breath
deeply
Alert emergency response team
Perform CPR by a trained personnel if
necessary
Seek medical advice accompanied with

INGESTION
Call for help
Alert emergency response team
Do not induce vomiting
Seek medical advice
accompanied with CSDS

SPILL

Alert emergency response team

Clear area of personnel and
move upwind
Close off source of spill if
possible
Avoid breathing vapours and
contact with skin and eyes

SPILL (contd)
Control personal contact by
using protective equipment
(refer CSDS for proper PPE)
Control and absorb small
quantities, use spill kits if
trained
If in contact, flush area of
contact with water
Do not introduce ignition
