Foot/hand protection

The new standard amended 29 Code of Eederal Regulations (CER) to include general requirements (29 CER 1910.132), eye and face protection (29 CER 1910.133), head protection (29 CER 1910.135), and foot protection (29 CER 1910.136). A new regulation (29 CER 1910.138) applied to hand protection. These changes are significant because they mandated employers to conduct a hazard assessment of the workplace to decide if hazards in the operation required the use of PPE. 

Appendix B further describes suggested steps that employers can take when conducting a hazard assessment. According to the Appendix, a survey should include observations of employees and their relation to injury or illness that can occur from work areas where eye, face, head, foot, or hand protection may be necessary to prevent injury from any of the following hazard sources ... 

After the types of PPE components necessary for protection have been established, one mnst pick specific PPE items that will satisfy the requirements. The task begins by reviewing the information available for chemical resistance and for physical properties. From this information, one selects the materials of constmction for the PPE items. For example, if the need is for hand protection and foot protection for >4 honrs from a pesticide concentrate containing aliphatic petroleum distillates as the carrier solvent, then, with reference to Table 6.6, nitrile might be selected as the material of construction.

Two additional safety measures have been considered in all three bowties, influencing the contact with electricity. These are a) Personal Protective Equipment for prevention from electrocution, such as rubber insulating gloves, insulated footwear and nonconductive equipment for face, neck and chin b) Personal Protective Equipment for prevention from arc such as flash suits, face protection shields, hand protection gloves and foot protection shoes, and c) procedures, in case of vehicle contact with electrical wires. This last measure, which is applied in cases where vehicles operate near overhead hues, includes safety procedures which should be followed in such working situations, described in more detail by Damen and Aneziris (2008). 

Provide additional training on the types of hand protection, proper glove selection and use, foot protection, and work practices.

OSHA s PPE Program is a necessity in any warehouse. The need for workers to wear the proper protective equipment is one way in which injuries can be reduced. This OSHA program went into effect on July 5, 1994. The rules are intended to be more comprehensive regarding protective equipment and are more consistent with today s industry practices. The original OSHA standards for head, eye, face, and foot protection were adopted form ANSI standards more than twenty-seven years ago. The new PPE rule reflects the latest ANSI standards and now includes a section on hand protection, as noted in this chapter. Figures 15-4 and 15-5 provide a PPE training form and PPE hazards survey assessment to use in a warehouse to comply with the OSHA PPE rule. 

OSHA s Subpart I regulations apply to all persons involved in hazardous processes environmental, chemical, radiological hazards or mechanical irritants that are capable of causing injiuy or impairment of any body part through absorption, inhalation, or physical contact. The categories of PPE include eye and face eqrdpment head protection hand protection foot protection body protection and respiratory protection (information about respiratory protection is provided in a separate topic area rmder Respiratory Protection, 1910.134).

Chemotherapy refers to drug administration with highly serious side effects, such as nausea, hand and foot rashes, mouth sores, and increased risk of infection, easy bruising, and so on. Therefore, liposomal carriers have been used in order to improve the drug s biodistribution and protect the patient from those side effects. The main anticancer drugs used to treat ovarian cancer are carboplatin and cisplatin, paclitaxel, topotecan, and lurtotecan. PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin has been approved as a regimen for patients with metastatic ovarian cancer refractory to both paclitaxel and platinum based-therapy [449],... 

Make tlie prisoner spread his legs far apart and place his hands on top of his head, fingers interlocked. While searching, keep as far from him as possible (fig. 106 ). When you have to move close to him to search his front, place your foot against his heel, turning your body to the side to protect your groin (fig. 106 <2)). 

Protection for eye, ear, head, hand, foot, respiratory, and falls and equipment maintenance. 

Face shields, hand gloves of full length, industrial safety shoes (with inner steel plate to protect foot and fingers) portable breathing apparatus, gas masks with appropriate gas adsorbent canisters attached, gum boots, industrial safety shoes, and acid-/alkali-resistant dress are some of the personal safety items. The time for which the gas canisters are used shall be recorded and they shall not be used beyond expiry of their capacity.

As outlined in previous chapters, it is essential for each laboratory worker to be proactive to ensure the laboratory is a safe working environment. This attitude begins with wearing appropriate apparel and using proper eye, face, hand, and foot protection when working with hazardous chemicals. It is the responsibility of the institution to provide appropriate safety and emergency equipment for laboratory workers and for emergency personnel. (See also section 5.C.)...

Looking further ahead, the recent development of multi-material AM could have a significant impact upon customised footwear and handwear systems. In a single build process, the Connex series of machines (Objet Geometries, 2010) can build a component (or assembly of components) from a combination of materials, ranging from a soft flexible rubber to a stiff plastic. In theory, this would enable a flexible skin to be produced with embedded protective elements that conformed to the shape of the hand or foot. However, the rubber-like nitrile-based materials currently available have a low tear resistance, which makes them unsuitable for repeated bending and flexing. Nevertheless, future materials development could yield improved characteristics, so this is an area worthy of future research effort.
