Guidelines for Selecting Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
Work-practice controls should be implemented before utilizing PPE to control worker exposures to
hazards in the workplace. This is based on OSHA’s hierarchy of controls which includes: engineering
controls, administrative controls and work-practice controls. PPE alone should not be relied on to
provide protection against hazards. PPE should be used in conjunction with engineering controls and
administrative controls. PPE is viewed as the last line of defense
Factors to consider when selecting PPE:
Familiarize yourself with the potential hazards in the area and the types of PPE that are
available
Consider the hazards associated with the environment (impact velocities, masses, projectable
shape, radiation intensities, etc.)
Consider the following basic hazard categories:
o Impact (falling/flying objects)
o Penetration (sharp objects piercing foot/hand)
o Compression (roll‐ over or pinching objects)
o Chemical exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, eye contact or injection)
o Temperature extremes (heat/cold)
o Dust/flying debris (grinding, chipping, sanding, etc.)
o Radiation (non‐ ionizing: UV/IR/light, welding, brazing, cutting, furnaces, etc.)
o Noise (mechanical rooms, machines, jackhammers, etc.)
o Electrical (shock, short circuit, arcing, static)
Select PPE that ensures a greater level of protection than the minimum required to protect
workers from the hazards.
Fit the worker with the PPE and give instructions on its use and care. It is very important that
workers be made aware of all warning labels and limitations of their PPE.

Appendix B
Personal Protective Equipment
General Guidelines for Selection and Use
Head Protection/Hard Hats
1. Hard hats must be used in areas where a reasonable risk exists for injury to the head.
2. Hard hats must comply with ANZI Z89.1-1986.
3. Hard hats should not be worn over a hat or cap. Special hard hat liners are available if necessary
for protection from cold weather.
4. Hard hats should be inspected regularly. Replace the hard hat if it has a crack or hole, or if it has
sustained a heavy blow. Do not drill or cut hard hats.
5. Non-conductive hard hats (class B or C) are required for protection from electrical hazards.
Eye and Face Protection
1. Eye and face protection must be worn in areas where a reasonable or obvious risk exists for
chemical splashes, flying objects or physical hazards that could result in an eye or face injury.
2. PPE for eye and face protection must comply with ANSI Z87.1-1989.
3. For flying particles, safety glasses with side shields or goggles may be specified for protection. Face
shields over goggles may be required to protect against a high volume of flying objects.
4. When working in a lab where chemicals are being used, chemical splash goggles must be worn.
5. Side shields cannot be removed from safety glasses.
6. Normal prescription glasses do not provide adequate protection from injury to the eye and do not
meet ANSI eye protection specifications. Safety glasses must be worn over regular prescription
glasses, or prescription safety glasses may be obtained, but they must have side shields.
7. Inspect eye and face protection frequently for cleanliness, proper fit, and scratches that impair
vision. Adjust, replace or have repaired as needed.
8. Contact EH&S if you wear contact lenses and need to use eye or face protection.
Hand Protection
1. Hand protection must be worn when necessary to protect against chemical exposure and
physical hazards such as thermal (hot or cold) burns, abrasions, cuts, slivers, etc.
2. Select the right type of glove for the job and conditions. Appendix B of the Chemical Hygiene Plan
for Laboratories contains a chemical compatibility guide for gloves. In general:
Leather is a good choice for protection against rough surfaces, sparks, chips and moderate
heat.
Cloth protects in general shop conditions from dirt, chafing, abrasions, wood slivers and low
heat.
Rubber and nitrile protect against some acids, some chemical burns and electrical shock.
Plastic protects against some chemicals and corrosives. Refer to Appendix B of the
Chemical Hygiene Plan for Laboratories before choosing gloves for chemical use.
3. Make sure gloves fit properly.
4. Inspect gloves often for cracks, holes, tears, good flexibility, and grip.
11
Torso Protection
1. The purpose of protective apparel is to provide protection for the body from injury from sharp
objects, chemical exposure, and temperature extremes.
2. Lab coats, chemical resistant aprons, and disposable Tyvek suites are examples of protective
apparel.
3. Proper selection should be based on intended use. Contact EH&S for assistance.
Foot Protection
1. Safety shoes or boots are required to protect against heavy objects, chemical splashes and spills,
and punctures and should be worn when these dangers exist.
2. Safety shoes and boots must meet the ANSI Z41-1991 standard, which provides for both impact
and compression protection.
Hearing Protection
1. OSHA requires that all employees exposed to a time-weighted noise level of 85 decibels (dBA) or
greater be included in a hearing conservation program. No areas or tasks on the Montana Tech
campus have been identified as exceeding this limit. However, hearing protection is still highly
recommended in noisy areas or when performing tasks with noisy equipment or machinery.
2. Either earplugs or earmuffs are selected for protection against hearing damage or loss. Contact
EH&S for specific recommendations.
Respiratory Protection
1. Montana Tech has a Respiratory Protection Program. The requirements of the program include
medical evaluation, fit testing of the respirator, and training in all aspects of respirator use.
2. Employees who wear respirators must be included in this program. Contact EH&S for information.
