Implementation of dress standards and personal protective equipment requirements shall be mandatory for all personnel working in the project.
The provision and use of PPE should not be seen as an accident prevention measure; rather it helps in the elimination of exposure of personnel to hazards during performance of job assignment or, in case of an accident occurrence it becomes a control or mitigation measure, which eliminates or reduces the effects on personnel.
The use of personal protective equipment as “second line” in accident mitigation is a demonstration of management commitment to safety of its personnel at work.
Through education and induction of awareness programs for the need and importance of the use and maintenance of PPE, the management expresses yet another step to commitment to safety of its personnel.
Personal Protective Equipment, like, coveralls, safety boots, hand gloves, welding mask, welding goggle, grinding goggle, welding shield/apron, breathing respirators, ear plugs, safety helmets, work vest, etc., shall be provided and made available at all times for the job.
