What I Need To Know
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards involves many processes. It’s more than
simply “inspecting out hazards.” Before we can effectively control hazardous conditions and
unsafe behaviors, we need to be familiar with their characteristics and the necessary
processes to make sure they are promptly identified and analyzed . On the previous module
we discussed how to identify and prevent hazard and risks in workplace and learn different
saf3ty signs and symbols to prevent injury. This is to avoid and prevent any waste that may
cause the low productivity of the workers, and to avoid any hurdled jobs in order to meet the
requirements. Always remember in order to be effective of our work we need to be familiar
of task or we will be exposing ourselves to hazards and risks. Always remember Hazards
and Risks are liability to our work and to our performance.
What’s New
Personal protective equipment, or PPE is designed to protect you from hazards found or off
the job. Face shields used in welding and helmets used for engineering are PPE; other
examples include googles, safety glasses, foot protection, coveralls, gloves, vest, earplugs,
and respirators. If you must wear PPE for your job, your employer must train you to use it
properly. So PPE must comply with national standards
Employers must assess their workplaces to find out if there are hazards that require workers
to use PPE. If there are such hazards, employers must select the right type of PPE and
make sure it fits the employee correctly. In most cases, the employer is required to supply
PPE to their workers at no charge, however there may be exceptions if you wear your PPE
off the job site. Employers must train workers who have to use PPE on how to use it
correctly.
This includes the following:
Knowing when PPE is needed
How to use PPE correctly
Knowing what kind of PPE to use
Understanding what PPE can and cannot do to protect workers
How to put on, adjust, wear, and take off PPE
How to maintain PPE.

What is It
LO 3 Control Hazards and Risks
3.1 Demonstrate the use of PPEs in the workplace
Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is designed to protect you from hazards found on or
off the job. Face shields used in ice hockey and helmets used for biking are examples of
PPE; other examples include goggles, safety glasses, foot protection, coveralls, gloves,
vests, earplugs, and respirators.
Why is a PPE considered the least effective type of protection against injury?
It may not fully protect you
It may be uncomfortable to wear.
It requires the employee to have it, put it on, and keep it on.
It might not fit correctly.
It is important to remember that PPE comes in various sizes. If the PPE does not fit
correctly, it may be necessary to find and try a different size or brand. In order for it to be
effective and provide protection, PPE must fit properly.
PPE is often used in combination with other hazard-control methods like removing the
hazard from the workplace and using good work rules. Even though PPE is considered to be
the least effective form of protection, there are some conditions where it is the only
protection available to protect the worker. For example, if a worker has to do work in a
confined space, they may have to wear a respirator because ventilation may not be
adequate.
Safety shoes, leggings, and foot guards help protect workers from falling objects,
sharp objects, wet and slippery surfaces, hot surfaces, and electrical hazards.
Face shields, goggles, and safety glasses with side shields can protect workers
from liquids and solids that can get into their eyes. Look for the marking ANSI Z87.1.
Earplugs or earmuffs can help prevent damage to hearing. Exposure to high noise
levels can cause irreversible hearing loss as well as physical and psychological
stress.
Gloves can protect workers’ hands from chemicals, hot and cold temperatures,
vibration and sharp objects. Gloves must fit properly and be the right kind of material
for the job.
Respirators. Employers must first try to remove breathing hazards. If they can’t,
workers may have to wear respirators. The kind of respirator required depends on
the kind of hazard the worker is exposed to. For example, dust masks do not protect
against chemical vapors Respirators must also fit correctly in order to prevent illness.
If a worker has to wear a respirator, it is the employer’s responsibility to provide the
employee with a medical evaluation to make sure they are healthy enough to work
safely in a respirator.
Protective Cover all /Full body suits. In some cases, workers must protect most or
all of their bodies against heat, cold, radiation, hot metals and liquids, body fluids, or
hazardous materials.

Proper Training
To obtain the worker’s complete compliance with the requirements to wear the PPE, the
following factors must be considered:
6
1. The extent to which the personnel who must wear the equipment understand its
necessity
2. The ease and comfort with which it can be worn with a minimum of interference with
normal procedures.
3. The available economic, social, and disciplinary sanctions which can be used to
influence the attitudes of the worker
Head Protection
Safety hats should be inspected prior to their use.
Objects should not be placed inside the safety hat between the shell and the suspension
device. This space is designed so an impact will not transmit to the head of the worker.
Safety hats should be kept free of abrasions, scrapes, and nicks and should not be
deliberately dropped, thrown, or otherwise abused because they will lose their protective
qualities. Ventilation should not be drilled in safety hats.
https://slideplayer.com/slide/5818670/
Ear Protection
The prevention of excessive noise exposure is the only way to avoid hearing damage.
Engineering and administrative control must be used if the sound levels are exceeded. If
7
such controls fail to reduce the sound levels within the level specified, personal hearing
protection must be used. Molded earplugs should be individually fitted by a professional.
Some earplugs are disposable, to be used one time and then thrown away. The non-
disposable type should be cleaned after each use for proper protection.
Earmuffs must make a perfect seal around the ear to be effective. Glasses, long sideburns,
long hair and facial movements, such as chewing may reduce protection. Special
equipment is available for use with glasses or beards.

What’s In
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards involves many processes. It’s more
than simply “inspecting out hazards.” Before we can effectively control hazardous conditions
and unsafe behaviors, we need to be familiar with their characteristics and the necessary
processes to make sure they are promptly identified and analyzed.
Always remember in order to be effective of our work we need to be familiar of task or we
will be exposing ourselves to hazards and risks, remember hazards and risks are liability to
our work and to our performance.
What’s New
A work environment free from injuries and accidents attracts employees. Employees
are more satisfied and productive in such environment. Workplace safety regardless of the
size of the company. All companies big or small, need to incorporate safety in their
workplaces.
Well implemented safety measures keep employees safe and also protect industry
equipment. It is the responsibility and duty of the employers to protect their employees and
them safe. This is why workplace safety and health measure is necessary. They are
important for the wellbeing of the employers and employees alike.
What is it
11
It goes without saying that the safer the environment, the more productive it
is. Productive employees can produce more output in less time, reducing
operational costs for a company
Workplace safety promotes the wellness of employees and employers alike.
Healthier employees do tasks more efficiently and they are happier in
general.
There are very few accidents in a safe environment. This result in less
downtime for safety investigation and reduces costs for worker’s
compensation. This also reduces the time needed for employees to heal from
injuries.
Damage to industrial equipment creates costs for replacement and repair.
Avoiding workplace injuries and damage to industrial equipment will incur
fewer expenses and increase profit.
If employers are concerned about the safety of their employees, the
employees are more confident and comfortable in general. Also absenteeism
rates drop and employees are more focused on ding their tasks.

Summary
In this lesson, you have learned on how to demonstrate the use of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPEs) in th workplace. You have learned how to enumerate the
benifits of observing safety procedure in the workplace. Take note hazards and risks is
preventable if we are responsible in everything we do. Education explains the natural
consequences (hurt) and system consequences (discipline), let us always practice a culture
of discipline where injury and hurt will not prosper. You are also though on this module on
how to perform the proper use of personal protective equipment and its importance to safety.
Stay Alert for Every Task You do. The term safety also means a state of being protected
against physically. This is why workplace safety are necessary. They are important for the
wellbeing of employers and employees alike. The feeling of assurance that one has,
knowing that he will return safely from work is greater than anything else.
