Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment

Personnel must be protected from the hazards at the scene

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132

Personal Protective Equipment

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134

Respiratory Protection

NFPA 472

Standard for Professional Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials IncidentsSlide3

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Designed to protect the

Skin

Eyes

Face

Hands

Feet

Body

Head

Respiratory System Slide4

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Must protect the wearer from

Heat

Hazardous materials

Contacting skin, eyes

No single ensemble can protect against all hazards

Must be concerned when choosing PPE

Firefighter turn out gear

Easily penetrated by fumes and vapors Slide5

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

NFPA 472 identifies three types of protective clothing:

Structural fire-fighting protective clothing

High-temperature protective clothing

Chemical-protective clothing (CPC)Slide6

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Structural Fire-Fighting Protective Clothing

Protects wearer from

Heat

Moisture

Ordinary hazards associated with structural fire fighting

Helmet

Coat

Pants

Boots

Gloves

PASS Device

HoodSlide7

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Structural Fire-Fighting Protective Clothing

Provides limited protection against hazardous materials

Neither corrosive-resistant nor vapor-tight

Any liquids can soak through

Acids and bases can dissolve (deteriorate) the outer layers

Gases can penetrate the garmentSlide8

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Structural Fire-Fighting Protective Clothing

Hazardous materials may

permeate

any protective clothing

Pass through at the molecular level

Remain in the protective equipment

Subjects the wearer to repeated exposures

May render it unsafe for useSlide9

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Structural Fire-Fighting Protective Clothing

Never clean turn-out gear at

Home

Public laundries

Any place that they might mix with other clothing

Never wear it into

Sleeping areas

Living areas Slide10

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Structural Fire-Fighting Protective Clothing

Commonly used at hazardous materials incidents when the following conditions are met:

Contact with splashes of extremely hazardous materials is unlikely

Total atmospheric concentrations do not contain high levels of chemicals that are toxic to the skin

There are no adverse effects from chemical exposure to small areas of unprotected skin

There is a chance of fire or there is a fire and this type of protection is appropriate Slide11

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

High-Temperature Protective Clothing

Designed to protect the wearer from short-term high-temperature exposures

Heat levels exceed the capabilities of standard fire-fighting protective clothing

Provides limited use in dealing with chemical hazardsSlide12

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

High-Temperature Protective Clothing

Proximity Suits

Permit close approach to fire for

Rescue

Fire-Suppression

Property Conservation

Aircraft rescue

Flammable liquid firesSlide13

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

High-Temperature Protective Clothing

Fire-Entry Suits

Allow a person to work in total flame environments for short periods of time

Short-duration and close-proximity protection

Radiant heat as high as 2,000

o

F

Each suit has a specific use

Not interchangeable

Not designed to protect the wearer against chemical hazards Slide14

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

High-Temperature Protective Clothing

Limitations

Contributes to heat stress

Bulky

Limits wearer’s vision

Limits wearer’s mobility

Limits communications

Requires frequent and extensive training

Expensive to purchase Slide15

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Purpose is to shield or isolate individuals from the chemical, physical and biological hazards

NFPA recognizes two types:

Liquid splash protective clothing

Vapor protective clothing

CPC is made from a variety of different materials

None of which protects against all types of hazards Slide16

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Manufacturer must provide a list of chemicals for which the suit is effective

May be purchased as a single or multi-piece garment Slide17

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Encapsulating

Designed to completely cover the responder including the respiratory equipment

Nonencapsulating

Designed to provide protection in conjunction with the wearer’s respiratory protection

Attached or detachable:

Hood

Gloves

BootsSlide18

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Designed to be impermeable to moisture

Prohibits heat transfer from body through evaporation

Causes a safety concern to the wearer

Hot environments

Extended work times

Strenuous workSlide19

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

The effectiveness of CPC can be reduced by three actions:

Permeation

Degradation

Penetration Slide20

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Permeation

Occurs when a chemical passes through a fabric on a molecular level

Typically

no visible

evidence of chemicals permeating a material

Manufacturers provide charts of breakthrough timeSlide21

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Degradation

Chemical Degradation

Occurs when the characteristics of a material are altered through contact with chemical substances

Cracking

Brittleness

Most common observations

Discoloration

Swelling

Loss of strength Slide22

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Penetration

Occurs when a hazardous material enters an opening or a puncture in a protective material

Rips

Tears

Cuts

Open zippers

Unsealed seamsSlide23

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

Service Life

May be labeled for:

Reusable

Multiuse

Repeated use

Limited Use

Not disposable

Disposable

For one-time useSlide24

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Clothing Type

Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)

OSHA identifies the following emergency response operations that may require the use of a CPC
