OISD STD -155 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PART-I : NON-RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT)
(PART-II : RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT)
The cardinal principle in controlling an unsafe condition is to remove the hazard. This could be achieved through better design, change of process or guarding by mechanical means. Inspite of care taken to design safety into all systems and operations in the oil industry, the risk of failure of engineering controls, materials, equipment and even that of safety devices cannot be fully eliminated. There are also some operations and situations like welding and cutting etc. where engineering controls are not feasible and use of Personal protective Equipment (PPE) is done regular-ly. The use of personal protective equipment can, in such situations, do one or more of the following:
- Reduce risk of dangerous occurrences (e.g. safety belts).
- Provide a physical barrier between the user and the hazard (e.g. apron, face shield).
- Render a hostile environment friendly albeit for limited period of time (e.g. breathing apparatus).
It is of course of primary importance that personal protective equipments are carefully selected and maintained. Improper selection, use and maintenance can only endanger the life of the user. The limitations of each equipment should also be clearly understood and personnel should be thoroughly trained in the right use of personal protective equipment.
Keeping this in mind, these standard guidelines are prepared for selection, use and maintenance of PPE. This standard has been divided in two parts for convenience of users i.e.
