20. Combined Personal Protective Equipment is understood to be all equipment used by the worker, consisting of several devices that the manufacturer has combined to combat one or more occupational risks existing in the work environment. lanyard belt energy absorber DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND ITS COMPONENTS
21. Helmet SHEEP It acts to absorb the impact distributed throughout the skull. JUGULAR Its purpose is to prevent the PPE from coming loose from your head upon impact. The primary function of a safety helmet is to protect the employee's head, particularly against impacts that may occur in construction environments, such as: falling items from upper floors; impacts from equipment; damage caused by falls from heights, among others.
22. Hearing protection T o protect your hearing from excessive and prolonged noise and prevent subsequent hearing damage, you should wear hearing protection when working in noisy environments – whether in the garden or on construction sites, as well as in industry and workshops.
23. Foot protection The industry has at its disposal numerous models of boots that must be used according to the risks present in the environment, they are: Chemical; Physical; Mechanic; and Biological.
24. Protection of limbs The industry has at its disposal numerous models of safety clothing that must be used according to the risks present in the environment, they are: Chemical; Physical; Mechanic; and Biological.
25. Eye protection The industry has at its disposal numerous models of safety glasses that must be used according to the risks present in the environment, they are: Chemical; Physical; Mechanic; and Biological.
26. Respiratory protection The industry has at its disposal numerous models of safety masks that must be used according to the chemical risk present in the environment, these gases being: CO²-carbon dioxide; H2S-hydrogen sulfide; Hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide; and Methane etc.
27. Hand protection The industry has at its disposal numerous models of gloves that must be used according to the risks present in the environment, they are: Chemical; Physical; Mechanic; and Biological.
28. Occupational hazard against which PPE offers protection Occupational hazards are potential threats to the life or health of employees, arising from elements and conditions present in the work environment. “Combination of the probability of injury or health damage caused by a dangerous event, exposure to a harmful agent or work activity requirement and the severity of that injury or health damage”.
29. We saw in the module “DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND ITS COMPONENTS” that the PPE manufacturing industry supplies numerous types of equipment to protect against the risks below. Physical risks NOISE: resulting from oscillations caused by vibrations, noise can trigger various levels of hearing loss (deafness), as well as fatigue, irritability, headaches and other health problems. Machinery and equipment are among the main sources of this risk. HEAT: Continuous exposure to heat can lead to dehydration, heatstroke, skin rashes, and even psychoneurotic disorders. Exposure to sunlight during outdoor activities and proximity to machinery are conditions that increase this occupational risk.
30. COLD: Work in cold storage facilities and ports are examples of activities that can be carried out at low temperatures, increasing the chances of respiratory problems, cracks, wounds and frostbite. PRESSURE: Environments with abnormal pressure levels can cause eardrum rupture and other problems for workers. Activities involving divers, compressed air pipelines, and drilling machines are some examples. HUMIDITY: Electroplating and cleaning are among the sectors that most expose workers to excessive humidity, threatening the functioning of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and increasing the possibility of workplace accidents such as falls.
31. IONIZING AND NON-IONIZING RADIATION: These are transmitted by electromagnetic waves, potentially absorbed by the body. Radiation disrupts the body's functioning at various levels, with one of the most well-known problems being the carcinogenic potential of X-rays (ionizing radiation). VIBRATION: Localized or generalized (whole-body), vibrations can trigger conditions such as back pain, bone loss (osteoporosis), and spinal and joint injuries. Tractor and truck drivers are examples of workers exposed to vibrations.
32. Chemical risks VIRUSES: Hepatitis, dengue, yellow fever, measles and COVID-19 are among the diseases transmitted by viral contamination. BACTERIA: are capable of triggering infectious conditions such as tuberculosis, pneumonia and meningitis, as well as other illnesses such as tetanus. PROTOZOANS: malaria and toxoplasmosis are some pathologies caused by these microorganisms. FUNGI: mycoses, pneumocystosis and fungal sinusitis are diseases caused by molds, mushrooms and other species of fungi.
33. Accident risks Also known as mechanical risks, they originate from inadequate physical and technological conditions that can lead to injuries of greater or lesser severity. Height; and Electric shock In both risks the causes can be: Machinery and equipment with obsolete technologies or without adaptations to prevent accidents Poor physical arrangement, increasing factors such as physical effort Inadequate, defective or damaged work instruments Inappropriate electrical installations Lack of safety signs in hazardous areas Lack of collective or individual protection measures.
34. Ergonomic risks They can be described as the risks that arise from the relationship between man and his work. When physical and mental health protection measures are not adopted, problems such as fatigue, gastritis, anxiety and RSI/WMSDs may arise. Repetitive Strain Injuries and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders are triggered by factors such as poor posture, overload of activities and excessive force to perform tasks.
35. However, it is worth listing other sources of ergonomic risk, such as: Imposition of an intense work routine Toxic environment due to excessive demands, high competitiveness, bullying, moral or sexual harassment, etc. Long working hours Monotony Repetitive tasks Stress Weightlifting Night work.
36. Protection restrictions and limitations Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a device used to protect the health and safety of workers in the workplace. The primary function of PPE is to reduce or minimize exposure to chemical, biological, or physical agents. Incorrect use, that is, failure to comply with the rules set by the manufacturer, can lead to serious accidents.
37. Proper use and adjustment Did you use the PPE correctly?
38. To adjust the PPE, it is necessary to take into account: Physical size of the employee, Use of contact lenses, Sensitivity to compounds present in the PPE, Concomitant use with other PPE. Security; and Proper adjustment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to ensure: Comfort
39. Maintenance and replacement Have you been doing this in your PPE?
40. The maintenance and replacement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are important activities to ensure safety at work. Expiration date; The existence of replacement parts; Condition of use; and Exposed risk. Changing PPE depends on several factors, such as:
41. Hygiene, storage and conservation Cleaning and maintaining Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is important to ensure it functions properly and lasts longer, ensuring employee safety. The employee is responsible for the storage and conservation of PPE, while the employer is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.
42. Check the manufacturer's instructions or the information on the product label. Avoid abrasive or corrosive products Clean after each use Store in a dry, shaded place. To sanitize and maintain PPE, it is important to: Avoid friction between equipment in the warehouse Ensure PPE is completely dry before storing.
43. Safety barriers Accident prevention and management correspond to the set of strategies, plans and management practices adopted by the company to promote the safe operation of assets and logistics activities and maintain the readiness of emergency response systems to mitigate impacts on human life, the environment, infrastructure and reputation. PPE REDUCES INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO POINT IN USING IT WITHOUT FIRST COMPLYING WITH THE OTHER BARRIERS.
45. Thanks! Employee awareness is an ongoing process and must involve all employees.
