Eye-protection program

To develop and implement an eye-protection program for all employees in order to reduce the number of incidents of eye injuries and thus reduce the workers compensation cost. [Pg.6]

The initial costs of the eye-protection program include the following ... [Pg.7]

By considering the estimated cost in FY 1997 of 400,000 for eye injuries and the projected cost of 7000 for the eye-protection program, as well as an estimated program success rate of 90 percent, it is predicted that the cost of eye injuries can be reduced by 360,000 in FY 1998 by an initial investment of 7000. This is a return on the initial investment of over 5142 percent (i.e., the company will receive a reduction equal to over 51 times the initial investment). [Pg.7]

The entire eye-protection program will be developed and implemented within 6 months from the date of approval by the upper-management group. [Pg.7]

The safety and loss prevention professional should specifically show the risk versus return in regard to the efforts and time of middle-level managers or supervisors and the specific amount of work required to achieve the requested results. Using the above eye-protection program as an example, the safety and loss prevention professional could provide an approximate amount of time each day the manager or supervisor will be required to address eye protection and correlate the costs and benefits of the expenditure of a few minutes each day. [Pg.9]

Adequate general ventilation, provision of appropriate containment equipment (fume hoods, safety cabinets, or localized exhaust systems), procedural controls, or use of personal protective equipment, respiratory protection, and protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection are all part of a possible program to reduce exposures. [Pg.426]

James remembers a case where an employee got dust in his eye. There was no recorded history in this plant regarding eye injuries. However, the leadership team decided to change its entire safety eye protection policy and program. They then discarded all currently used safety eye protection and replaced it with new types to solve this perceived problem, which was Just a speck of dust in the eye. [Pg.159]

All operators of grinding, blasting, and spray-finishing operations shall be provided training on respirators appropriate for the jobs they conduct. This respiratory protection program should comply with 1910. 134(a-b). Employees should also be trained on other PPE including gloves, eye and face protection, and safety shoes. [Pg.94]

Q Conduct a PPE hazard assessment, and implement a respiratory protection program if respirators are to be used. Provide and ensure the use of the appropriate gloves (e.g., butyl, nitrile), goggles, and protective clothing when a potential for eye or dermal exposure exists (e.g., exposure to contaminated equipment, chemical containers, etc.)... [Pg.550]

Universal precautions training that complies with the OSHA standard on occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, as well as a fire training program, should be provided on an annual basis for all laboratory employees. Personnel are required to use proper personal protective devices when handling corrosive, flammable, biohazard, or carcinogenic substances. Eye wash sta-... [Pg.410]

Wastewater employee safety program. Safety policy, eye care, health screening, personal protective equipment, foot protection, equipment maintenance, and motor vehicle safety. Produced by Washington Surburban Sanitation Commission, Hyattsville, Maryland. [Pg.198]

An improved version of the World War I orchard sprayer decontamination apparatus was fielded to provide ground and equipment decontamination. It could also be used for plain water showers for soldiers (Figure 2-39). For treatment of gas casualties, the CWS standardized the M5 Protective Ointment Kit. This kit came in a small, waterproof container and held four tubes of M5 Protective Ointment wrapped in cheesecloth and a tube of BAL (British anti-Lewisite) Eye Ointment. The protective ointment was used to liberate chlorine to neutralize vesicant agents on the skin. The BAL ointment neutralized Lewisite in and around the eye by changing it to a nontoxic compound. Over 25 million of the kits were procured for the army.26 35 105 Biological Warfare Program... [Pg.42]

Protective devices are often used to prevent contact of chemicals with the respiratory tract, eyes, skin, and digestive system. Foulger states that a safety program should be designed to prevent or minimize contact of chemicals (or materials that are injurious to health) with the body respiratory protective devices, safety glasses and shields, impermeable clothing, gloves, shoes, and masks must be made available... [Pg.92]

Work with explosives shall be hunted to the minimum quantities needed. For small quantities used in a hood, an explosion barrier in the hood, with personnel wearing protective eye wear, face masks, and hand protection, may be sufficient protection. For larger quantities, the facility must be specifically designed for the research program. [Pg.106]

Maintenance, Repair, and Cleaning There needs to be a maintenance and repair program. Personal protective equipment that is not in good condition or not properly adjusted for fit needs corrective action. Filters in respirators need regular replacement. Protective eye wear needs regular cleaning. Some items need disinfecting. Some need decontamination. [Pg.398]

Your company is required to have a written PPE program if your employees use PPE in conjunction with their duties. Of course PPE is only to be used when engineering controls and administrative controls cannot be used to protect the employee. Under 1910.132, PPE refers to equipment to protect eyes, face, head, and extremities protective clothing respiratory devices and protective shields and barriers. If employees provide their own protective equipment, the employer is also responsible for it. The employer responsibilities include... [Pg.373]

PPE protects the respiratory system, skin, eyes, face, hands, feet, head, body, or hearing from chemical, physical, and biological hazards. No single combination of protective clothing and equipment can protect a person from all hazards. To be effective, the selection and use of PPE must be appropriate and accompanied by adequate training. Each plant should have a PPE program which includes... [Pg.234]
