OSHA 10 Hour
Personal Protective & Lifesaving Equipment
Eye, face, head and extremity protection, protective clothing, respiratory devices, protective shields, barriers for mechanical, chemical, radiological or other workplace environmental hazards
Employers must provide AND require their employees to use protective equipment wherever necessary to prevent injury or impairment.
Equipment must meet the specifications for design by ANSI or NIOSH
Employers are responsible for maintaining protective equipment in a sanitary and reliable condition
Types of Protection
Head Protection: protective helmets (hard hats) must be worn by employees who work in areas where there is a possibility of head injury from impact, falling or flying object, or electricity
Hearing Protection: must be worn when noise levels cannot be reduced by engineering or other means.
Eye & face protection: must be used to protect against physical, chemical, or radiation agents. Protection must be reasonably comfortable, fit snugly, and not unduly interfere with employee movement. Protection against UV: 2-4 shade for soldering and brazing, 7-9 for gas welding, 9-12 for arc welding.
Respiratory Protection: employers must have a written plan for procedures to select and use respirators. Respirators must be regularly cleaned & disinfected, stored properly and inspected. Users must be properly trained in selection, use and maintenance of respirators- must fit properly.Only MSHA or NIOSH approved respirators. Written procedures must be prepared to cover use of respirators in dangerous atmopsheres.
Safety belts, lifelines and lanyards
Safety nets: must be provided if workplaces are higher than 25 feet above the surface and ladders, scaffolds or other safety equipment is impractical
Workers over or near water: Life jacket or buoyant work vests must be provided to employees where danger od drowning exists (FI policy- no fall protection, PFD instead)
Health Hazards in Construction
Risk factors in construction: constantly changing job site environments and conditions, multiple contractors and subcontractors, high turnover and/or unskilled laborers, constantly changing relationships with other work groups, diversity of work activities that happen simultaneously, exposures to health hazards, both from their own work as well as from nearby activities

Chemical Hazards: Include asbestos, lead, silica, carbon monoxide and spray paints- chemicals exist in several forms including dusts, fumes & fibers, liquids and mists and gases and vapors
Can enter the body in a variety of different ways:
Inhalation: generally the most common way chemicals can enter the body in a work situation
Ingestion: accidental swallowing through eating, drinking or smoking
Absorption: contact with skin or eyes
Injection: a chemical enters the body when the skin is punctured
Health Effects: acute and chronic
Acute: Occur immediately or within a short time (minutes/hours) following exposure. Death is possible from some hazardous substances. Exposure to the chemical is typically sudden, short-term, and with a high concentration. (i.e. carbon monoxide- quickly experience a headache, collapse or death)
Chronic: Develops after continual or repeated exposure to a dangerous chemical. Long-term exposure can sometimes occur over several years (i.e. lung cancer from asbestos exposure)
Asbestos, welding fumes, solvents, silica, lead, confined spaces (hazards associated with each)
