1.0 Scope
This plan is provide guidelines and requirement for mandatory Personal Protective Equipment at
worksite. In accordance with OSHA standards, this program provides steps necessary to adequately
assess workplace hazards for the purpose of selecting personal protective equipment (except for
personal fall arrest systems, respiratory protection, and hearing protection).
Work-place hazards must be eliminated when possible. However, if hazard controls are necessary then
departments must select and use engineering controls when such controls are available and feasible.
Personal protective equipment must never be used in place of engineering controls, but should be used
when engineering controls are not available, do not provide adequate protection, or are not feasible.
I.e. Hierarchy of controls. All work must be evaluated to identify hazards and any necessary personal
protective equipment (PPE), when needed to perform a job task in a safe manner.
2.0 References
Section 62 Provision of Personal Protective Equipments. Where in any factory or workplace, workers
are employed in any process involving exposure to any injurious or offensive substance or environment,
effective protective equipment shall be provided and Maintained by employer for the use of the persons
employed.
3.0 Objectives
The intent of this program is to help reduce the potential for employee injury and illness through careful
selection, training, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and to comply with OSHA.
I - Personal Protective Equipment. Though not required by regulation, an additional objective of this
Management Plan for Personal Protective Equipment is to enhance the employees-learning environment
by demonstrating good personal protection habits where appropriate.
Engineering controls and appropriate safety practices will be used as primary methods to safeguard
employees. When necessary, PPE will be used in conjunction with existing controls and safe operating
practices. For situations where engineering or other control methods are not adequate or available, PPE
might be the sole source of employee protection.
Miles is to conduct periodic PPE assessments to identify workplace hazards and sources of those hazards.
Hazards may include fall from height, chemical, heat, dust, and electrical systems.
Based on the results of the PPE assessments, the appropriate PPE is selected. PPE is selected that
facilitates a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect the employee. Professional
guidance from a third-party consultant or safety vendor is obtained when there is any doubt regarding
selection of proper PPE.
PPE is fitted to the specific person, because PPE that fits poorly will not provide adequate protection and
will not be worn consistently. Regulations require that employees must be offered a reasonable selection
of PPE. Hazardous areas are re-evaluated periodically to document that adequate PPE is being provided,
that it remains in good condition, and that employees are utilizing PPE in the correct manner.
PPE is either capable of being cleaned and sanitized or of the disposal type. Miles prohibits sharing of
PPE between employees unless it is intended to be shared and has been properly cleaned and
sanitized. PPE is maintained in a clean, good working, and protected manner. Please refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions or seek professional advice regarding the care, maintenance, and cleaning
of your PPE.
7.0 Training
Each employee required to use PPE in our workplace is trained to understand the following;
Each affected employee demonstrates an understanding of the training as well as the ability to use
the assigned PPE properly before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE. Verification
that each affected employee has received and understood required training is recorded on an
appropriate training document, containing the name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training,
and an outline of information covered. PPE issuance must be recorded for each employee individually.
Ref: REG – Miles PPE Issuance Register
An employee is subject to re-training or on-the-job coaching when there is reason to believe that they
do not appear to fully understand the need, purpose, function, maintenance, or any other aspect of
the proper use of PPE. Re-training occurs in any situation where:
Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; or
Changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete; or
Inadequacies in an affected employee’s knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicate that the
employee has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.

protection, and/or hearing protection
8.0 Monitoring
HSE Management will monitor implementation of this plan by reviewing training records and written
documentation of hazard evaluations, incident investigations, the need for personal protective
equipment, and selection of personal protective equipment
This Management Plan for Personal Protective Equipment is reviewed on an annual basis. Revisions are
made as necessary and affected employees are informed of such revisions, if applicable.
Protective eyewear is required when flying particles, dusts, fumes, vapors, or harmful rays are apt to
expose employees to potential eye injury.
SAFETY GLASSES
Standard safety glasses look very much like normal glasses, but are designed to protect
you against flying particles. Safety glasses have lenses that are impact resistant and
frames that are far stronger than regular eyeglasses. Safety glasses must meet standards
established by OSHA. Safety glasses are also available in prescription form for those persons
who need corrective lenses. Safety glasses can be equipped with side shields, cups, or tinted
lenses to offer additional protection.
Gloves cannot prevent hand accidents - only safe and conscientious work practices can do that.
However, choosing the right gloves for the job can help protect you from unnecessary injury and
disability if an accident should occur. When protective gloves are required, document that they are in
good condition, fit well, are comfortable to wear, and are rated to guard against the particular hazards
you face.
The following guide describes the most common types of protective gloves and the types of hazards
they can protect against.
FABRIC GLOVES
Gloves made of cotton or fabric blends are often used to improve grip when handling slippery
objects or to insulate your hands from mild heat or cold. Fabric gloves will not protect against
gas or liquid hazards.
LEATHER GLOVES
Leather gloves are used to guard against injuries from sparks, some sharp materials, or
scraping against rough surfaces. They are also used in combination with an insulated liner
when working with electricity. Leather gloves should not be used when handling hazardous
chemicals, where exposure to the glove is anticipated. Leather gloves should be used with
caution near moving machinery, where the glove may get caught and pulled into the machine.
Head injuries can be caused by falling or flying objects or by bumping your head against a fixed object.
When used, protective hats must resist penetration and absorb the shock of a blow, without causing
injury to the wearer. Protective hats can also protect against electrical shock.
Protective hats must be worn correctly to offer the intended level of safety and must be inspected for
defects on a regular basis.
Class A: General Service, limited voltage. Intended for protection against impact hazards and
used in construction, and manufacturing.
Class B: Utility service, high voltage. Used by electrical workers.
Class C: Special service, no voltage protection. Designed for lightweight comfort and impact
protection. Used in certain construction, manufacturing, refineries, and where there is
a possibility of bumping the head against a fixed object.
SAFETY BOOTS
Safety boots offer more protection when splash or spark hazards (chemicals, molten materials)
are present.
When working with corrosives, caustics, cutting oils, and petroleum products, neoprene
or nitrile boots are often required to prevent penetration.
Foundry or “Gaiter” style boots feature quick-release fasteners or elasticized insets to
allow speedy removal should any hazardous substances get into the boot itself.
When working with electricity, you may need to wear special electrical hazard boots
that are designed with no conductive materials other than the steel toe (which is
properly insulated) or some non-conductive toe material.
When working in rain, water, mud rubber made Gum Boots with steel cap resist the
water and washable easily.
