1.0 Purpose
	Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) helps reduce employee exposure to hazards when used in conjunction with engineering controls, administrative controls, and sound work practices. It is the policy of Operational Support Services Company Limited (OSSCL) to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all employees and to ensure that they are properly trained to select which is appropriate for a task and how it is to be used.

	§ Occupational Safety and Health Act of Trinidad and Tobago 2004 (Amendments 2006) § All SDS
3.0 Purpose Of Personal Protective Equipment
	OSSCL will conduct workplace hazard assessments and provide PPE for all employees carrying out activities involving potential hazards that have not been otherwise controlled. It is expected that all employees will be familiar with the PPE they may be called upon to use and the specific function of such PPE. It is the responsibility of each employee to ensure proper use, handling and maintenance of this equipment while in his/her possession. OSSCL requires the use of PPE and specifies the manner in which it must be worn to provide adequate protection.
4.0 Types of Personal Protective Equipment
	There are primarily seven parts of the body, one or more of which may be exposed to injury during a potentially hazardous job activity. These are as follows:
	1. Head 2. Eye 3. Ear 4. Nose/Lungs	5. Foot 6. Hand 7. Body/Trunk
	These areas may be protected using appropriate PPE. Within each class of PPE i.e. head protection, eye protection etc., there are various types of equipment, each intended for a specific function. Appendix II: PPE Recommended for Specific Functions shows the parts of the body exposed together with the related hazards being protected against and the types of personal protection available to employees for each function. The extent of injury caused to the body system varies with the duration of exposure to the hazard and the nature of the hazard. It is therefore necessary to use adequate protection against the hazard depending on the expected severity. Equipment should be selected which affords adequate protection with the maximum practicable degree of comfort, in view of the tendency to remove protective equipment if it is uncomfortable.

5.0 Responsibilities
5.1	OSSCL – As an employer, is responsible to ensure the “provision of adequate and suitable PPE of an approved standard to employees who in the course of employment are likely to be exposed to the risk of head, eye, ear, hand or foot injury along with adequate instructions in the use of such protective clothing or devices” (OSH Act, Part II 6 (2) c). It is also OSSCL’s responsibility to ensure that when the job requires more than one item of PPE to be used simultaneously, such combination is compatible and continues to be effective against the risks in question without presenting an additional hazard.
5.2	Department Managers/Supervisors will be responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy/procedure, identifying employees for training to understand the appropriate PPE for specific activities/tasks.
5.3	HSSE Advisor is responsible for coordinating the development, implementation and management of the PPE training program. It involves the assessment of all tasks for hazards and ensuring that appropriate controls are implemented. This involves providing appropriate PPE and making it available to supervisors for their employees.
5.4	Employees are responsible for the correct use and maintenance of the PPE provided for their use. They are also responsible to immediately report any damaged PPE and inform their supervisor when PPE needs to be replaced. Employees are mandated to participate in any training provided.
6.0 Specific Features Of Commonly Used PPE
	6.1 Hard Hat
	The supervisor shall ensure that each at risk employee wears an approved hard hat when working in areas where there is a potential for head injury from falling or overhead objects. The supervisor shall ensure that each employee exposed to electrical conductors that could contact the head, wears a protective helmet designed to reduce electrical shock hazards. OSSCL has selected protective helmets in accordance with ANSI Z89.1-2009 Standards. ANSI Standards have two (2) types of protective helmets classified for impact: § Type I – intended for impact resulting from a blow to the top of the head. § Type II – intended for impact resulting from a blow, which may be received off center or to the top of the head. In addition, ANSI Standards have three (3) types of protective helmets classified for electrical: § Class G – (general) – intended to reduce the danger of contact to low-voltage conductors (proof tested to 2,200 volts phase to ground). § Class E – (electrical) – intended to reduce the danger of contact to high-voltage conductors (proof tested to 20,000 volts phase to ground). § Class C – (conductive) – not intended to provide protection against contact with electrical conductors. Replacement of hard hats is carried out on evidence of damage due to wear and tear or age-related deterioration.

6.2 Safety Eyewear and Face Protection

Safety glasses, goggles and face protection are used for protecting the eyes and face during particular job activities such as impact hazards, chemical splash and welding rays etc.

Safety glasses shall have permanent side protectors. Safety glasses must conform to ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010, CAN/CSA Z94.3 standards. Protective eye and face protection for welding operations shall be used for all welding operations. Filter lenses for protection against radiant energy shall be used in accordance with CFR 1910.133

	6.2.1 Prescription Safety Lenses

Prescription safety glasses subsidized by OSSCL must feature permanent side shields. OSSCL will provide fifty percent (50%) of the cost of standard prescription safety glasses and will provide prescription safety glasses to employees when the following conditions are met: 1. The employee already wears or is required to wear prescription glasses. 2. The employee is required to perform work where machines, environment, or operations present eye hazards of harmful liquids or flying materials of any kind. 3. There is a reasonable probability of injury to the employee’s eyes that can be prevented by use of prescription safety glasses. All prescription safety glasses shall meet all requirements of the American National Standard for Occupational and Educational A9.710 Eye and Face Protection, Z87.1-1968. Employees already possessing safety glasses meeting the required specifications shall not be issued an additional pair of glasses under this policy.
	6.2.1.1 Process for Obtaining Prescription Safety Glasses:
	Affected employees: 1. Will contact their supervisor when requesting prescription safety glasses. 2. Obtain a lens prescription from their doctor and provide a copy to Human Resource Manager. The cost for the eye examination (including the prescription) shall be paid by the employee. Sick leave shall be allowed for eye examination which the employee cannot schedule for non-work time. 3. The prescription must be written by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. No prescription over one year old will be accepted. 4. If the employee receives these safety glasses, they must wear these glasses as their only glasses while on the job. 5. If the prescription safety glasses are damaged in the performance of duty, OSSCL will pay for the replacement. 6. Any employee willfully damaging or losing prescription safety glasses will be responsible for the entire cost of replacement. 7. Any employee that needs a replacement because of changes in his vision, OSSCL will provide fifty percent (50%) of the cost for replacement of the safety lenses. The cost of the eye examination (including the new prescription) shall be paid by the employee. Supervisors must: 1. Consult with the Human Resource Manager about those employees requesting prescription safety glasses. 2. Ensure the above conditions are met for the provision of prescription safety glasses. 3. Complete a Prescription Safety Glasses Request and Authorization Form (LIII-HSSE-17). Human Resources: 1. Evaluate the Prescription Safety Glasses Request and Authorization Form (LIII-HSSE-17). 2. Supply polycarbonate safety glasses with side shields and safety sunglasses with side shields (if needed) on a two-year basis. If the glasses should break in the course of the employee’s duties, OSSCL will replace them. All employees provided with prescription safety glasses or any eye protective equipment shall be required to use such protective equipment while exposed to possible hazardous working conditions. Failure to use personal protective equipment as directed may be grounds for disciplinary action. It is further emphasized that employees who for any reason are not provided with prescription safety glasses, are not exempted from rules covering eyewear. Such employees will use goggles or other appropriate eyewear whenever they are in eye hazardous areas.
	6.2.2 Contact Lenses
	Contact lenses are not a form of eye protection nor considered personal protective equipment. The wearing of contact lenses in the workplace shall be allowed within these limitations. § With the use of appropriate safety glasses or safety goggles, when such PPE is required. § If non-vented safety goggles are used where chemical vapors are present. § If non-vented safety goggles are used in the presence of particulates or dusty atmospheres. § Not in conjunction with welding operations or UV emitting sources.
	6.3 Earplugs, Ear-muffs & Canal Caps
	Earplugs, earmuffs and canal caps are three forms of hearing protection from noise hazards. One or the other type must always be worn when in areas where the noise level exceeds 85 dBA. Earplugs must be properly sized and inserted by the correct procedure in order to achieve the rated protection. Appropriate hearing protection of an approve standard of (ANSI s12.68-2007) will be provided to employees.
	6.4 Safety Shoes/Boots
	The supervisor shall ensure affected employees wear approved protective footwear when working in areas where there is a danger of foot injury from falling or rolling objects, or objects piercing the sole, and where such employees are exposed to electrical hazards.
