INTRODUCTION:

v   PROTECTIVE COSTUMES ARE NECESSARY FOR WORKING IN EXTREMELY HOT OR EXTREMELY COLD ENVIRONMENTS AND HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.

v  UNDER THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE FACTORIES ACT AND RULES THERE UNDER SUITABLE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS IS REQUIRES TO BE PROVIDED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE MANAGEMENT

v  IN INDUSTRY ATEMPTS ARE MADE TO DESIGN PROCESS FOR EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION.

v  ALL HAZARDS ARE KEPT UNDER CONTROL

v  HOWEVER FOR SAFETY OF OPERATIONS IT IS NECESSARY TO USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS

v  IT MUST BE BORNE IN MIND THAT PERSONAL EQUIPTMENTS DOES NOT ELIMINATE HE HAZARDS

SAFETY MANAGEMENT’S FUNCTIONS INCLUDES THE PROPER USAGES OF PPES:

1)      FORMULATION OF DISPLAY OF RULES NEAR WROK PLACES AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATIONS

2)      PROVIDING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS TO CONSTTRUCTINS WORKERS AND INDUSTRIAL WOKRERS

3)      TO CONVINCE AND EDUCATEWORKERS ABOUT THE NEED OFPERSONAL PROTECTIE EQUIPTMENTS THE RISK OF NOT USING EQUIPTMENTS SHOLUD BE UNDERSTOOD

4)      TRAINIG OF WORKERS TO USE THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS

5)      TO BRING ABOUT SAFETY CULTURE IN WORK PLACE

6)      TO ANALYZE SPECIFY SELECT AND RECOMMEND PPE

NON RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS:

1. EYE: SENSITIVE TO BRIGHT LIGHT PARTICLE DUST FUMES
2. EARS: SENSITIVE TO NOISE SOUND
3. FACE: SENSITIVE TO APRTICLE CHEMICALS LIQUIDS FUMES GASES FLYING OBJECTS
4. NOSE LUNGS RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS: SENSITIVE TO CHEMICALS FUMES DUST POISONOUS GASES
5. HEAD NECK ANDTORSO;SENSITVE TO ACCIDENTAL HITTINGS INSERTION IN ROTATING PART
6. LEG AND FOOT: SENSITIVE TO FAILING OF OBJECTS CHEMICALS

8)      BODY:ELECTRIC SHOCK HEAT AND COLD

9)      SKIN: HEAT AND COLD

RESPIRATORY: TYPE OF HAZARDS TO WHICH A WORKER IS EXPOSED IS THE BASIS OF SELECTION OF THE RIGHT TYPE OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS THE HAZARDS MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS UNDER GIVEN THESE ARE KNOWN AS RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS

AIR SUPPLY RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS:

1. OXYGEN DEFICIENCY ATMOSPHERE IN CONFINED SPACES SUCH AS TANKSHOLDS OF THIS SHIPS ETC. MAY CONTAIN AIR WITH  OXYGEN CONTENT MUCH LOWER THAN THE NORMAL( 21% BY VOLUME)

2. GASEOUS CONTAMINANTS THSES MAY BE TOXIC OR INERT GASES THE TOXIC GASES MAY PRODUCE A HARMFUL EFFECT EVEN IF THEY ARE PRESENT IN RELATIVELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS THE INERT GASES PRODUCE UNDISERABLE EFFECTS PRIMARILY BY DISPLACEMENTS OF OXYGEN THE TERM GASES INCLUDES VAPORS OF VOLATILE SUBSTANCES.

AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS:

1. CANISTER GAS MASKS.THIS CONSISTS OF A CANISTER,CONTAINING APPROPRIATRE CHEMICAL A FULL FACE PIECE AND BODY HARNESS TO HOLD THE CANISTER IN PLACE ON THE BODY OF THE WEARER AIR IS DRAWN THROUGH THE CANISTER BY THE WEARER AND DURING ITS PASSAGE THROUGH THE CHEMICAL IN THE CANISTER THE CONTAMINANT PRESENT IN THE INCOMING AIR IS ABSORBED OR IS NEUTRALIZED.
2. CHEMICAL CATRIDGE RESPIRATOR THIS CONSISTS OF USUALLY A HALF MASK ATTACHED TO ONE OR TWO CATRIDGES.LIKE CANISTERS ARE FILLED WITH APPOPRIATE CHEMICALS TO ABSORB GASES OR VAPOUR DRAWN THROUGH THEM THIS REPIRATOR IS A NON EMERGENCY GAS RESPIRATOR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE USED IN RESPIRATOR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE USED IN AN ATMOSPHERE DEFICIENT IN OXYGEN LIKE CANISTER GAS MASK CHEMICALS CATRIDGES RESPIRATOR PROVIDES RESPIRATORY PROTECTIONS FOR A PEROID THAT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF CATRIDGES USED THE CONCENTRATIONSOF GAS OR VAPOUYR AND THE WEARER ACTIVITY IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR LOW CONCENTRATIONS GASES AND VAPOUR (MAX.OF 0.1% OF ORGANIC VAPOUR

SELECTIVITY OF PPE:

 A WELDER NEEDS THREE PROTECTIONS

1. PROTECTIONS OF EYE
2. PROTECTIONS FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
3. AND CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OF MUSCLE CONTROL

            THREE PROLONGED SAFETY MEASURES INCLUDE:

SELECTIONS OF RESPIRATOR:

a)      NATURE OF THE HAZARDS

b)      SEVERITY OF THE HAZARDS

c)       TYPE OF CONTAMINANTS

d)      CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS

e)      PERIOD FOR WHICH RESPIRATOR PROTECTIONS MUS BE PROVIDED.

COMMON TYPES OF WORK PERMITS ARE:

1. FIRE OR HOT WORK PERMIT
2. SAFE ENTRY/VESSEL ENTRY WORK PERMIT
3. ACID AREA WORK PERMIT
4. WORKING AT HEIGHT PERMIT
5. COLD WORK PERMIT
6. ELECTRICAL WORK PERMIT
7. EXCAVATION PERMIT

1. FIRE OR HOT WORK PERMIT:  THESE PERMITS ARE ISSUED TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS IN AT SUCH AREAS PROCESSES,EQUIPTMENTS WHERE HOT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS IS CONSIDERED TO BE DANGEROUS

WORKS WHICH REQUIRE HOT WORK PERMITS:

1.  WELDING GAS CUTTING GRIDING METAL CHISELING RIVETING WORKING WITH OPEN FLAMES ETC

              HOT WORK

2. USE OF ELECTRIC OPERATED TOOLS UNLESS THEY ARE LAME PROOF TYPE OR EXPLOSION PROOF TYPE ENTERING OR OPERATING OF MOTOR ARE VEHICLES CRANES OR OTHER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE DRIVEN VEHICLES IN PROCESSING AREA
3. WORK  ON ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.

CHECK LIST FOE SAFETY INSPECTION OF WORK SITE: ACCORDING TO THE WORK THE SAFETY PERSON SHOULD PREPARE A CHECK LIST FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THE BELOW CHECK LIST IS COMMON FOE ALL THE ACTIVITIES.

WORK PERMIT:

1. WHETHER VALID WORK PERMIT IS ISSUED TO START ANY WORK?
2. PROPERLY FILLED  AND SIGNED
3. WHETHER ALL CONDITIONS OF THE PERMITS ARE FULFILLED BEFORE STARTINGTHE JOB?

4. AS NOTED IN THE PERMIT, WHETHER COMPLIANCES OF ALL THE RECOMMEDATIONS ARE ENSURED?
5. WHETHER PERMITS ARE AVAILABLE A WORK SITE ALL THE TIMES?
6. WHETHER HOT WORK AND BLANKER PERMITS REGISTERED IN FIRE STATIONS
7. WHETHER PERMITS ARE BEING CLOSED AFTER THE COMPLIANCES OF JOB.

PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS(PPE):

1. SAFETY HELMETS& SAFETY SHOES
2. GUM BOOTS(ONLY FOR CIVIL LABOUR WORKING IN MUD)
3. SAFETY BELTS WITH LIFE LINE
4. GLOVES
5. EAR PLUG(FOR NOISY AREA)

3. IS GENERAL NEATNESS O.K.
4. IS THE GROUND FREE FROM OIL GREASE ETC., AND IS NOT FOUND TO BE SLIPPERY?
5. WHETHER UNWANTED MATERIALS AND SCRAP REMOVED FROM THE SITE ON REGULAR BASIS.

TYPES OF ACCIDENTS ASSOCIATED WITH HAND TOOLS:

1. DUE TO MWRONG OR UNSAFE WAY OF USING THE TOOLS OR
2. DUE TTO BAD OR DEFECTIVE CONDITION OF TOOLS
3. ACCIDENTS CAN ALSO TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF USING RIGHT TOOL FOR RIGHT JOB.
4. SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS TAKE PLACE DUE TO UNSAFE OR WRONG WAY CARRYING THE TOOLS
5. ACCIDENTS ALSO TAKE PLACE DUE TO STORING OF TOOLS UNSAFELY NOW LKET US ANALYZE THE REASONS OR CAUSES FOR THE ABOVE TYPES OF ACCIDENTS.

THE FOLLWING PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES ARE SUGGESTED IN CONNECTION WITH PREVENTION OF HAND TOOL ACCIDENTS:

v   HAND TOOLS MUST BE PERODICALLY EXAMINED AND MAINTAINED BY

      COMPETENT PERSONS.

v  THEY SHOULD BE MADE OF GOOD QUALITY MATERIALS

v  THEY SHOULD BE  KEPT IN CABINETS OR RACKS WHEN ARE NOT IN USE.

v  THE WOODEN HANDLES OF TOOLS MUST BE MADE OF BEST QUALITY AND

     DURABLE WOOD

v  ONLY AFTER RECEIVING GOOD TRAINING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THE USE OG

     HAND TOOLS SHOULD BE PERMITTED BY THE WORKMEN

v   THE WORK BENCH SHOULD BE ADEQUATE DIMESIONS TO FACILITATE ALL

      OPERATIONS

v  WORKERS SHOULD WORK WITH DUE CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS JOB

v  HAND TOOLS MUST BE KEPT IN THEIR PROPER PLACES IN A SYSTEMAITIC MANNER

SAFETY INSRTUCTIONS FOR USE OF HAND TOOLS

1. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT TOOLS REQUIRED FOR EACH JOB
2. DO NOT USE A HAMMER FILE SCREW DRIVER ETC., WITH  A BROKEN SLIPPERY OR LOOSE HANDLE AND REPLACE SUCH HANDLES AND THEN ONLY USE.
3. TOOLS WITH BROKEN OR MUSHROOMED HEADS SHOULD NOT BE USED THESE SHOULD BE DRESSED OR IF CANNOT BE RECTIFIED SHOULD BE DISCARDED.

4. WORNOUT OR OPENED OUT SPANNER MAY SLIP NEVER THEM SPANNERS OF PROPER SIZE SHOULD BE USED FOR EACH JOB NEVER USE A SPANNER WITH A PACKING OR LEVERAGE
5. WHILE USING WRENCHES APPLY PULLING EFFORT NEVER PUSH IT.
6. NEVER ADOPT WRONGUSES OF HAND TOOLS E.G- USING SPANNER IS PLACE OF A HAMMER

v  USING A PULLER IN PLACE OF A SPANNER

v  USING A CHISEL IN PLACE OF A SCREW DRIVER

v  USING A SCREW DRIVER FOR OPENINGS BOXES.

7. SUCH PRACTICES DAMAGE THE TOOLS AND ALSO CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

POWER TOOLS:

v   PORTABLE ELECTRIC TOOLS WITH METAL BODY SHOULK BE EQUIPPED WITH 3 WIRE CORD HAVING THE GROUNG WIRE PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE TOOL FRAME AND MEANS FOR GROUNDING THE OTHER END.

v  USE OF MULTI METER SHOULD BE MADE FOR CHECKING OF PRESENCE OF ELECTRIC SUPPLY VOLTAGE INSTEAD OF TESTER.

v  PIPE OR OTHER EXTENSIONS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON A WRENCHES HANDLE TOP INCREASE THE LEVERAGE UNLESS THE WRENCHES IS SPECIALLY DEAIGNED FOR SUCH AN EXTENSIONS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF POWER TOOLS:

1. WHILE USING PORTABLE POWER TOOLS

v  CHECK FOR BROKEN PLUGS

v  WORN OUT OR LOOSE CORDS

v  EARTHING CONNECTION ETC

2. IF DEFECTIVE GET IT RECTIFIED AND THEN ONLY USE IT
3. ENGAGED THE COUPLINGS PROPERTY AND BLING THEM WITH BINDINGS WIRE
4. ENSURE ALL THE CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE BEFORE STARTING OPERATIONS

5. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DEFECTIVE EQUIPTMENTS
6. ENSURE USE OF EAR PROTECTIONS IN CASE OF NOISY OPERATIONS
7. ENSURE ALL MOVINGS MACHINERY PARTS ARE GAURDED?COVERED PROPERLY
