Introduction
Protective equipment = tools to do the job.
Nearly 2 million disabling work-related injuries expected this year.
More than ¼ will involve head, eyes, hands, feet

PPE Statistics from BLS
Hard hats were worn by only 16% of those workers who sustained head injuries
Only 1% of approx 770 workers suffering face injuries were wearing face protection
Only 23% of the workers with foot injuries wore safety shoes or boots
About 40% of the workers with eye injuries wore eye protection

Personal Protective Equipment in Oil and Gas
What PPE is used in oil and gas? What injuries or illnesses does it protect
against? Does it always succeed in protecting
against these injuries or illnesses? Why or why not?

1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure
OSHA measures noise in decibels in A scale (dBA) – calculation of one number for multiple frequencies
TWA calculation, but nonlinear scale Permissible TWA: 90 dBA for 8 hours Table G-16: higher exposure, shorter
time allowable
![Page 40: Personal Protective Equipment - OSHA](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051504/585a5d201a28ab6e32917fb5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

1910.95(c) Hearing conservation program
Required for any employees exceeding 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA or 50% dose Action level
Monitoring, employee notification Audiometric testing
Baseline and annual Evaluated for standard threshold shift
(STS) (change in hearing sensitivity)
![Page 41: Personal Protective Equipment - OSHA](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051504/585a5d201a28ab6e32917fb5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

1910.95(i) Hearing protectors
Available to all employees exposed over 85 dBA
Replaced as necessary Must be worn by workers exposed >90
dBA, or before baseline or with STS Employees choose from variety Training, supervision of correct use Proper initial fitting
![Page 42: Personal Protective Equipment - OSHA](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051504/585a5d201a28ab6e32917fb5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

1910.95(j) Hearing protector attenuation
Calculations in Appendix B Cannot simply subtract Noise Reduction
Rating (NRR) from dBA Poor fit decreases attenuation
Must attenuate to 90 dBA If STS has occurred, attenuate to 85
dBA Re-evaluate when noise levels increase
