PPE Stands for Personal Protective Equipment

Definition

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment which is defined as a clothing or an equipment which is designed to protect the workers from physical hazards when worker is on a work site.It should only be considered as a last line of defense between a hazard and the worker. During the Mechanical fitter or General fitter work procedure they must use all the basic PPEs at least.

Basic PPE

Here first of all we will talk about basic PPE so all the equipment’s or clothing’s which is used to cover or protect our body parts are called as basic PPE so i would like to start with our very sensitive part of our body guess what ???? Yes of course you are to protect our Head.

So the very first basic PPE   is  HELMET which is used for Head Protection. you know actually this is the most important PPE which is used as a safety precaution.

I am giving you a live example so that you can really realize that how safety Helmet is important for our safety precautions during working on site so what happen Once we are doing the Hot Bolting in crude distillation unit and the same time other team is doing Blinding Procedure same place but above (second floor ) our location and during Blinding by mistake one of the bolt is slipped from above then it comes down and strike on the head of one of our team member. But we are lucky enough that we all have safety Helmet on our head and finally our team mate was safe due to Helmet.

Now the second PPE is Safety goggles and Face shields which is used for the protection of Eye and Face. You must protect your Eye during any work. It is also used for the task that can cause loss of vision and an eye burns. So check there are no cracks or deformities on the lenses.

Now the Fourth PPE is Safety Gloves which is used for the protection of Hand. so safety gloves is used for the task that can cause hand and skin burns or absorption of harmful substances. It also protect from cuts, burns and chemical residue. Also during the use of General fitter or Mechanical Fitter hand tools they must use hand gloves. And You should always change or replace them if any sign of contamination was observed.

Above mentioned equipment or clothing are the basic Personal Protective Equipment i.e, PPE. 
So we are going to Summaries here once again so you can keep in mind all the basic personal protective equipments.

Basic PPE

1. Helmet                               – For Head Protection

2. Safety Goggles or Face Sheild  – For Eye or Face Protection

3. Safety Shoes or Boot                 – For Foot Protection

4. Safety Gloves                            – For Hand Protection

5. Coverall or Boiler suites            – For Full body Protection

6. Ear Muff or Ear Plug                 – For Hearing Protection

 

Other than Basic PPE

There are some other PPEs are also used which are not basic but still used for safety precautions so now we are going to talk about that personal protective equipment.
  1.  Safety Harness –

Safety harness is also used as a safety precaution. It is mostly used for falling protection. If you are working on a scaffolding or a platform

of height more than 1.5

meter then you should always use safety harness for falling protection.



2.  Respiratory Protection-

Breathing Apparatus is used for respiratory Protection. It is mostly used for confined space or where toxic gases like H2S are available. Breathing apparatus is also known as SCBA i.e, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. When we work in confined space then there is deficiency of oxygen in that space so we have to carry this SCBA so that we can work easily.

NOTE – One thing always keep in mind that without training of breathing apparatus (so that how to use it ) please do not use this equipment.

3. Dust Mask-

When we are working then there are lots of dust particles are available in atmosphere and other contaminants are also available in atmosphere, which goes to our body through breathing which will be very harmful for our health. So we should always use Dust Mask.

4. Gas Detector-

Gas detector is also used as a PPE. so H2S monitor is used as a gas detector. If you have worked in KNPC Kuwait then you must aware of H2S gas monitor. When we work in confined space or during Blinding and deblinding Procedure toxic gases like H2S released which is very harmful so that it causes death also so for the detection of toxic gases we should use Gas Monitor or Gas Detector.
