Head Protections:• Head protection such as helmets and
hats should be worn to protect employees from the impact of falling and flying objects. They also serve to protect against electrical shock and burns.
• Protection shells are designed to absorb impact. The suspension should be adjusted so that the shell is 1 to 5 inches above the head.
• Hard hats must meet the weight, flammability and electrical insulation standards of the job tasks at hand.
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.135
Head Protections:
Classes of Hard Hats• Class G (General):
ü Protects against falling objects and electrical shock up to 2,200 volts. (Formerly Class A)
• Class E (Electrical):ü Protects against falling objects and electrical shocks up
to 20,000 volts. (Formerly Class B)

Hand Protection:
• Hand protection should be worn when working in conditions that have a potential to cause injury to hands and fingers such as:
o Skin absorption of poisonous chemicals
o Severe cuts, lacerations, abrasions and punctures
o Chemical and thermal burns and extreme temperatures
• Arms, hands and fingers get injured more than any other part of the body, so gloves and barrier creams are essential to worker safety in many workplaces.

Types of Hand Protection:
ü Vinyl or neoprene gloves when working with chemicals.
ü Leather or cotton-knitted gloves when handling abrasives, metals and sharp objects.

• Workers may suffer permanent hearing loss when exposed to loud noises that don’t cause immediate irritation or when hearing protection is worn incorrectly.
• Hearing protection should be used in the following circumstances:o When the sounds of the workplace are irritating to the ear.o When workers must raise their voices to be heard by someone standing
less than two feet away.o When sound levels are above 85 dbA TWA (indicated on signage).o Double hearing protection is required when sound levels are above 104
dbA (indicated on signage).
Hearing Protection:• Hearing loss is a very common
workplace injury and is ignored all too often because it occurs gradually over a long period of time.

Types of Hearing Protection:
• Ear Plugs:o Offer the most hearing protection.o Insert a disposable ear plug into the ear by rolling it into a small
diameter oval and inserting it into the ear canal. The ear should be pulled up and back as the plug is inserted. Then, hold the plug in the ear for several seconds to allow it to expand and fit securely.
• Ear Muffs:o Ear muffs are only as effective as the seal around the entire ear.
Facial hair and eyeglasses can decrease the protection ear muffs can provide because they get in the way of the seal.
o Ear muffs can be worn with ear plugs to increase protection.o If ear muffs are cracked, cut or missing gaskets, they are not as
effective in protecting the worker’s hearing.
