6.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> The level of PPE selected for a task is based on the following: <br /> • Type and measured concentration of the chemical substance in the <br /> ambient atmosphere and its toxicity; <br /> • Potential for exposure to substances in air, splashes of liquids, or other <br /> direct contact with material due to work being done; and <br /> • Knowledge of chemicals on site along with properties such as toxicity, <br /> route of exposure, and contaminant matrix. <br /> In situations where the type of chemical,concentration,and possibilities of <br /> contact are not known, the appropriate level of protection must be <br /> selected based on professional experience and judgment until the hazards <br /> can be better identified. <br /> In addition to summarizing the general PPE requirements for tasks <br /> performed at the site,Table 6-1 also serves as the written certification that <br /> the PPE Hazard Assessment has been conducted. The signature page <br /> containing the client's name,project name and number, date, and <br /> signatures of the parties responsible for the development of the HASP also <br /> serves as part of the written certification. <br /> 6.1 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION <br /> The type of respiratory protection required will be based on the results of <br /> ambient air monitoring, the results of any models used to predict ambient <br /> air concentrations, and the professional judgment of either the FSO or the <br /> HSC. Respiratory protection requirements are outlined on Table 5-1 in <br /> Section 5. <br /> ERM 6-1 DEERE/129740-9/29/2011 <br />
