CM0 Personal Protective Equipment Management Program 2.15 3.2 Types of PPE The type and selection of PPE must meet certain general criteria and requirements as required under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(General Industry)and 1926.95(Construction). In addition to these general requirements, specific requirements and specifications exist for some types of PPE that form the basis of the protective clothing scheme. All manufacturer's recommendations for PPE care and use shall be followed. All PPE shall be maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition. Additionally, proper fit and size shall be evaluated to ensure adequate employee protection. Should PPE become defective, it shall be immediately removed from service and discarded. The following is a list of the common types of specific PPE and the specific requirements for the PPE type, where applicable: 1. Hard Hats - Regulated by 29 CFR 1910.135 and 1926.100; and specified in ANSI Z89.1. 2. Face Shields and Safety Glasses - Regulated by 29 CFR 1910.133 and 1926.102; and specified in ANSI Z87.1. 3. Respiratory Protection - Regulated by 29 CFR 1910.134 and 1926.103. 4. Hand Protection - Regulated by 29 CFR 1910.138 5. Foot Protection - Regulated by 29 CFR 1910.136 and 1926.96; and specified in ANSI Z41.1. 6. Protective Clothing (e.g., fully encapsulated suits, aprons) - Specified in NFPA 1991/1992/1994. 3.2.1 PPE Inspection, Cleaning Maintenance, and Storage The Office Health and Safety Manager (OHSM) or their designee is responsible for procuring PPE, in accordance with this management program. Single-use/disposable PPE should be purchased and used whenever practicable. 3.2.1.1 PPE Inspection Roux employees must inspect PPE regularly, before and after each use, to check for defects and damage. Garments and other PPE in central storage must be inspected at least annually or as recommended by the manufacturer by the OHSM, Equipment Manager, and/or their designee. Defective or damaged equipment must be tagged as out-of-service, immediately removed from the work site, and discarded. 3.2.1.2 PPE Cleaning and Maintenance All Roux employees are responsible for routine cleaning of their assigned PPE. Decontamination of PPE is addressed within Roux's Site Control and Decontamination Program as specified within site-specific health and safety plans. As appropriate, Roux employees should be issued single-use PPE when practicable to minimize the requirement for decontamination. When performing routine cleaning of reusable PPE: • Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid damaging the PPE. For example, some cleaning solutions compromise the integrity of protective helmets shell. • Clean and maintain PPE according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Before being re- issued, PPE should be thoroughly sanitized. • Disassemble, wash and sanitize reusable respirators after each use. For more information, refer to Roux's Respiratory Protection Management Program. Employees are not authorized to repair PPE without prior approval from the Health and Safety Department. Reusable PPE may require maintenance by the manufacturer to maintain integrity and certification. Many 03/2025 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 12
