RONCO | Intro to Safety and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
This document discusses personal protective equipment (PPE) and the importance of proper training. It notes that according to statistics, millions of injuries occur in the workplace every year and many could be prevented by proper use of PPE. However, surveys show that workers often fail to wear PPE correctly or at all due to factors like discomfort, lack of awareness of hazards, and lack of training. Proper PPE selection, training workers on hazards and PPE limitations, and ensuring they understand usage protocols are essential for compliance. OSHA requires training programs cover when PPE is necessary and how to use it properly. Regular retraining is also important to ensure safe PPE use.

25 Signs You Have An Awesome Safety Culture
Safety culture is the number one indicator of successful injury prevention programs, as discussed in a previous blog post.
But what is safety culture and how do you know where yours stacks up?
According to OSHA, “Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior.”
By definition, safety culture is difficult to measure. How do you measure values, attitudes and beliefs?
Following are 25 ways to tell whether or not you have an awesome safety culture. If you can answer yes to most of these, you’re doing great. Keep it up!
If not, you have some work to do. Don’t be discouraged, culture change takes time and perseverance.

Toolbox Talk - Safe Usage Of PPE
PPE is last line of defence which means there is nothing between you and your PPE that will protect you from a Hazard.
Below are the ways in which PPE fails to Protect us are;
1. Wrong PPE:
Wearing only Light Eye Protection while grinding.

Not wearing goggles while drilling.
Not wearing gloves while lifting.
Not wearing ear defenders whilst grinding.
4. Wearing PPE incorrectly:
Safety helmet on backwards.
Overalls tied around waist.
Earplugs no inserted into ear canal.
5. Wearing contaminated PPE:
Tipping contamination on goggles into own eyes when removing.
Removing acid suit without decontaminating.
Using PPE not issued to you.
To counter these failures PPE should only be used if the individual is competent in its use. The individual has inspected the PPE. The individual has been made aware of the correct method of putting on and removing PPE.
Always do assessments to ensure you have the correct PPE for the job.
Personal protection is the last line of defence. It is personal to you.
If you abuse it, fail to use it or are given the wrong type it is only you who will be injured.
Follow below to avoid failure of PPE usage:
• In case of Doubt, ask for the same.
• Get PPE issued from authorised.
• Check it every-time before use.
• Wear it every-time.
• And last but not the least, if you take of your PPE then PPE will take care of you.

Getting your PPE Facts Right
An effective personal protective equipment (PPE) program involves more than just using PPE. It requires conducting an initial risk assessment to select the correct PPE for identified hazards, training workers on proper PPE usage, maintaining and inspecting PPE regularly, using certified PPE that complies with standards, and auditing the program to ensure compliance and proper fit of PPE. Simply using PPE does not necessarily protect workers from hazards without these additional program elements.

5 Myths 5 Facts About Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- 1. 3M Business Name COVER MONTAGE GOES HERE Delete this placeholder and replace with montage. Getting Your PPE Facts Right – 5 Facts and 5 Myths By: Kyle Vogel
- 2. “So long as I wear my PPE, I will be kept safe” Myth #1
- 3. • Wearing PPE will only protect you if you wear it properly – Does it fit? – Is it being worn according to the manufacturer’s recommendations? – Has the equipment exceeded its expiration date? The Truth: It’s Not That Simple
- 4. • PPE must be rated for the hazard you are exposed to – Is your respirator designed to protect against particulates, specific gases & vapors, or a combination of the two? – Do your earplugs/earmuffs have a high enough noise reduction rating (NRR)? – Does the length of your fall protection lifeline exceed the fall distance? The Truth: It’s Not That Simple
- 5. “All brands of PPE are created equally… the manufacturer doesn’t really matter” Myth #2
- 6. • Has the manufacturer demonstrated that their product meets performance standards? – Look for equipment that meets standards set by agencies such as: »American National Standards Institute (ANSI) »ASTM International (ASTM) »National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) »Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) The Truth: Not Necessarily…
- 7. “Cleaning, inspecting, and replacing PPE isn’t that important” Myth #3
- 8. Taking care of PPE will extend the product life and may save the user’s life • PPE should be inspected before each use • OSHA requirements: – Employees must be trained in proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of PPE [29 CFR 1910.132(f)(1)(iv)] – Defective, damaged, or contaminated PPE must not be used [29 CFR 1910.132(e)] The Truth
- 9. “This job will only take a few minutes, so I don’t need to take the time to put on PPE” Myth #4
- 10. All it takes is one second for an accident to occur • Not having the necessary PPE in a hazardous environment can put your life or health at risk – Real-life examples: 1. Ironworker without fall protection falls to his death 2. Construction worker not wearing hard hat killed by tape measurer 3. Two contractor employees without respirators overcome by nitrogen 4. Five students sent to hospital for eye injuries after failing to wear safety goggles during lab The Truth
- 11. “If employees don’t want to wear PPE, I can’t make them” Myth #5
- 12. If employers or safety managers determine that PPE is necessary, than they can require its use • It is important to ask why PPE isn’t being used – Have employees been properly trained on use? – Is the equipment being offered comfortable? – Do employees have easy access to PPE? – Are supervisors leading by example and wearing safety equipment? • Get employees involved! Allow them to sample different products and choose the equipment they want to wear The Truth
