Port of Stockton Phase II ESA ��� <br /> Health and Safety Plan <br /> 10.0 Personal Protective Equipment <br /> Selection of the appropriate PPE is a complex process and requires consideration of a variety of <br /> factors. Key factors involved in this process are identification of the hazards or suspected hazards, <br /> routes of potential exposure to employees (inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, and eye or skin <br /> contact), and the performance of the PPE materials (and clothing seams) in providing a barrier to <br /> these hazards. The amount of protection provided by PPE is material-hazard specific. The effects of <br /> PPE in relation to heat stress and task duration are a factor in selecting and using PPE. <br /> The levels of PPE will need to be reassessed if any of the following occur: <br /> • Presence of or potential for previously unidentified chemicals or conditions. <br /> • Severe changes in ambient weather conditions. <br /> • Assignment of new tasks or expansion in the scope of a previously evaluated task. <br /> The following is a description of the minimum PPE that will be required during field work. <br /> • Hard hats, American National Standards Institute (ANSI)Z89. 1 (1997 or later). <br /> • Long pants, long sleeve shirts. <br /> • ANSI Z-87. 1 approved eye protection. <br /> • ANSI Type II reflective vests. <br /> • ASTM F 2413 approved over-the-ankle, safety-toed boots. <br /> • Work gloves should be worn at all times except when working in the vicinity of <br /> rotating equipment. <br /> • Work within a 10-foot range of open water shall require personnel to don personnel <br /> flotation devices. Additionally, a life ring shall be maintained within reasonable reach <br /> of those personnel. <br /> • Dust masks shall be carried by all personnel to be worn as needed. <br /> • Hearing protection is required for working in the vicinity of equipment that is <br /> operating at greater than 80 dB. <br /> PPE required for protection against blood born pathogens during CPR/ First Aid includes: <br /> • Responder gloves (e.g., latex, nitrile, Viton, etc.). No latex if a team member has an <br /> allergy to latex. <br /> • Safety glasses with side shields (minimum eye protection) <br /> • Liquid splash goggles (preferred eye protection if available, not mandatory) <br /> • Full-face shield (if potential for splash onto face, especially the mouth) <br /> Any changes to the PPE must first be reviewed by the PM. <br /> 9 � <br />
