Personal protective equipment body protection

Cutaneous Cutaneous relates to or affects the skin. The term subcutaneous refers to being below the skin (as in a penetrating injury or injection). Use your MSDS to determine the required personal protective equipment (PPE) that you must use. Protecting the skin (with gloves, aprons, coveralls, face masks, etc.) is important. After all, the skin is the largest organ in the human body.

The sttuidard requires the prepmer of the MSDS to list atiy gcticrally applicable cotitrol tncasures. These include engineering controls, safe handling procedures, and personal protective equipment. Infonnation is often included on the use of goggles, gloves, body suits, respirators, and face shields. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Equipment, provided to shield or isolate a person from the chemical, physical, and thermal hazards that may be encountered at a hazardous materials incident and should include protection for the respiratory system, skin, eyes, face, hands, feet, head, body, and hearing. 

Personal protective equipment is clothing and/or respiratory equipment worn to protect the body against various forms of contamination. Some of the most common forms of personal protective equipment include dust masks, air purifying respirators, protective suits made from particulates or chemically resistant materials such as Tyvek (E.I. Du Pont de Nemours Company, Inc., Wilmington, DE) and/or other fabrics, and lightweight protective rubber gloves or chemical-resistant gloves. 

Because of varying body shapes and sizes, personal protective equipment must be fitted to each individual to ensure it will be protective. This is particularly important when purchasing a respirator, because a poor seal will significantly reduce protection, s... 

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is the term used for a variety of physical devices used to protect the body from hazards. Industrial hazards include impact, excess noise, heat, cold, and noxious chemicals of many different kinds and actions. The type of PPE we are concerned with here, of course, is equipment that can provide protection against hazardous chemicals. Protection may be required specifically for the face and eyes, skin, and the respiratory system, and each may need a different kind of safeguard. However, as previously stated, except in emergencies and special circumstances, PPE should not be relied on as the primary or sole approach to protection. Primary attack at the source by administrative and engineering means must always be considered paramount. 

Personal Protective Clothing Clothing and equipment such as coat, boots, pants, helmet, gloves, and breathing apparatus drat shield the body from heat, smoke, fumes, and other harmful conditions.

Place reusable items in a plastic bag or hamper away from your other personal clothes and away from the family laundry. Place disposables in a separate plastic bag or container. The pesticides remaining on your personal protective equipment, work clothing, and other work items could injure persons who touch them. Do not allow children or pets near them. Do not allow contaminated gloves, boots, respirators, or other equipment to be washed in streams, ponds, or other bodies of water.
