Lesson
Personal Protective
1 Equipment
What’s In
Protective equipment must be carefully selected. Test fit the protective
equipment to be sure of a proper and comfortable fit. If it isn’t comfortable –
it won’t be worn; if it isn’t worn -it won’t protect.
Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect workers. OSHA
emphasizes the use of work site modification or work tasks as the best
control to manage or eliminate hazards. When these controls are not feasible
or do not provide sufficient protection, then PPE should be employed.
What’s New
Direction: Answer the following questions. Write your answer in your
activity notebook.
1. What is PPE?

What is PPE?
PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment. It is a precautionary step to
protect yourself and the people around you. PPE is a specialized clothing or
equipment worn for protection against dangerous or infectious materials. It
prevents contact with an infectious agent by creating a barrier between the
potentially infectious material and the public health practitioner.
PPE selection
1. Should be of safe design and construction
2. Should be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion
3. Fit and comfort should be taken into consideration when selecting
4. Make sure PPE types are compatible if worn together
(Pathak, 2018)
Personal Protective Equipment for agriculture worker
3 NegOr_Q3_Agri-CropProd10_Module3_v2
Types of PPE
1. Eye and face 4. Hand and arm
2. Head 5. Ears
3. Foot and leg 6. Lungs
Eye and Face Protection Necessary if exposed to:
1. Flying particles
2. Liquid chemicals
3. Acids or caustic liquids
4. Chemical gases or vapors
5. Potentially infected material
6. Potentially harmful light radiation
Prescription lenses
Regular prescription corrective lenses do not provide adequate protection
against workplace hazards.
1. PPE may incorporate the prescription into the design
2. Employees may wear additional eye protection over prescription
lenses
3. Protective eyewear should not disturb the proper positioning of the
prescription lenses or interfere with the employee's vision
4. Individuals with contact lenses must wear eye or face PPE when
working in hazardous conditions
Areas on a dairy farm to wear eye protection:
1. Handling chemicals in the milk house or shop
2. Making repairs to structures or machinery
3. Areas where there is a high level of dust
4. Possibility or likelihood of flying particles
Examples of potential eye or face injuries include:
• Dust, dirt, metal or wood chips entering the eye from activities such as
chipping, grinding, sawing, and hammering; use of power tools; or strong
wind forces.
• Chemical splashes from corrosive substances, hot liquids, solvents or
other hazardous solutions.
• Objects swinging into the eye or face, such as tree limbs, chains, tools or
ropes.
• Radiant energy from welding, harmful rays from the use of lasers or other
radiant light (as well as heat, glare, sparks, splash and flying particles).
4 NegOr_Q3_Agri-CropProd10_Module3_v2
Selecting the most suitable eye and face protection for:
1. Ability to protect against specific workplace hazards
2. Should fit properly and be comfortable to wear
3. Should provide unrestricted vision and movement.
4. Should be durable and cleanable
5. Should allow unrestricted functioning of any other required PPE
Types of eye protection
Safety Eyeglasses
Metal or plastic safety frames
Impact resistant lenses
Side shields available on some models,
must be ANSI approved

Goggles
Tight fitting
Completely covers eyes, eye sockets and
surrounding face area
Provides protection from impact, dust
and splashes May fit over corrective
lenses

Welding Shields
Constructed of vulcanized fiber or
fiberglass
Filtered lens protects eyes from burns
caused by infrared or intense radiant
light
Physical barrier protects from flying
sparks, metal spatter and slag chips
produced during welding, brazing, Courtesy of canva.com
soldering and cutting
Shade number must protect against the
specific hazards of the work being
performed in order to protect against
harmful light radiation
5 NegOr_Q3_Agri-CropProd10_Module3_v2
Face Shields
• Transparent sheets of ANSI approved
plastic extend from the eyebrows to below the
chin and across the width of the head
• May be polarized for glare protection
• Protect against dusts, splashes and
sprays of hazardous liquids but do NOT Courtesy of canva.com
protect against impact hazards
• May be used with goggles or safety
spectacles for additional protection against
impact hazards
Head Protection
Employers must ensure that their employees wear head protection if any of
the following apply:
Objects might fall from above and strike them on the head
They might bump their heads against fixed objects, such as exposed
pipes or beams
There is a possibility of accidental head contact with electrical hazards
Protective helmets or hard hats should do the following:
1. Resist penetration by objects
2. Absorb the shock of a blow
3. Be water-resistant and slow burning
4. Have clear instructions explaining proper adjustment replacement of
the suspension and headband
5. Hard outer shell and a shock-absorbing lining that incorporates a
headband and straps that suspend the shell from 1 to 1 ¼ inches
away from the head
6. Provide shock absorption during an impact and ventilation during
normal wear
Foot and leg protection choices include the following:
Leggings:
Protect the lower legs and feet from heat hazards
like welding sparks. Safety snaps allow leggings to
be removed quickly.

Metatarsal Guards:
Protect the instep area from impact and
compression. Made of aluminum, steel, fiber or
plastic, these guards may be strapped to the
outside of shoes.
Courtesy of what-the-shoes.com
Toe Guards:
Fit over the toes of regular shoes to protect the
toes from impact and compression hazards. They
may be made of steel, aluminum or plastic.
Courtesy of allsafetyproducts.com
Boots:
To be worn in areas where the floors may be wet
or slippery, provide protection for the toes if the
employee is stepped on.

Care of protective footwear
1. Safety footwear should be inspected prior to each use.
2. Checked for wear and tear at reasonable intervals, looking for
cracks or holes, separation of materials, broken buckles or laces.
3. The soles of shoes should be checked for pieces of metal or other
embedded items that could present electrical or tripping hazard
Types of protective gloves
1. There are many types of gloves available that protect against a wide
variety of hazards.
2. The nature of the hazard and the operation involved will affect the
selection of gloves.
3. It is essential to use gloves specifically designed for the hazards and
tasks in the workplace.
4.For chemical handling refer to the MSDSs under PPE.
