OSHA updated Guidelines on-“Protecting against arc flash hazards”. Arc Flashes vs PPE: Why Proper Gear Matters’: OSHA releases video. Video Link:- https://lnkd.in/dQUv6BPA For workers who are exposed to arc flash hazards, the type of personal protective clothing they’re wearing may mean the difference between being severely injured or walking away unharmed. That’s what OSHA aims to show in its new video on “why proper gear matters” for arc flash-exposed workers. The National Fire Protection Association, in a blog post, describes an arc flash as “a burst of energy so strong that it shines as bright as the sun, rises to a temperature more than three times the surface of the sun, and creates a pressure wave on par with the blast of a grenade.” OSHA’s 30-second video shows the aftermath of an arc flash with mannequins wearing Category 2 arc-rated clothing or polyester/cotton coveralls. “Don’t wear fuel,” is one of the main messages of the video.

In November 2022, WorkSafeBC introduced guideline G8.3 to help ensure all workers have personal protective equipment (PPE) that fits properly. Learn more about how to measure and fit PPE to a wide range of body types: http://ms.spr.ly/6040WYjHs #PPEthatfits

This is why the proper gear matters. Arc flash rated clothing matters when it comes to the protection of personnel potential exposed to arc flash hazards. Not have the proper gear including rates shirt, pants, and the appropriate face, head and hand protection can also create a safety issue. Understanding the hazard and determining the appropriate gear is part of a PPE hazard assessment to help personnel be safety. #arcflashsafety

🛡️ Understanding OSHA Levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 🛡️ In hazardous environments, the right PPE can be a lifesaver. Here's a breakdown of OSHA's four levels of PPE and what they entail: 🔹 Level A: Maximum Protection Respiratory: NIOSH approved positive pressure, full face piece SCBA. Skin: Totally encapsulating chemical protective suit. Eye: Maximum protection required. Used for: Unknown or confined spaces, requiring utmost protection. 🔹 Level B: High Respiratory Protection Respiratory: NIOSH approved positive pressure, full face piece SCBA. Skin: Hooded chemical resistant suit. Eye: Very high protection. Used for: Environments needing high respiratory but lesser skin protection. 🔹 Level C: Moderate Protection Respiratory: NIOSH approved full face or half mask APR. Skin: Hooded chemical resistant suit. Eye: Moderate protection. Used for: Known airborne substances meeting APR criteria. 🔹 Level D: Minimum Protection Respiratory: None specified. Skin: Coveralls or similar clothing. Eye: Minimum protection. Used for: Safe environments with no hazardous chemicals. Additionally, optional items can enhance safety in each level, from hard hats to hybrid respiratory systems. Stay safe, stay informed! #SafetyFirst #PPE #OSHAStandards

Safety should always be the top priority . Following safety procedures is not just a requirement, but a responsibility towards everyone involved. Ignoring safety measures can lead to disastrous consequences. One reckless act or oversight can jeopardize the well-being of workers and the project itself. It's crucial to remember that even a small mistake can have significant repercussions. Let us all commit to upholding safety standards at construction sites. Each precaution taken is a step towards ensuring a secure environment for all. Remember, a moment of carelessness is all it takes to invite disaster. #Stay_safe, #stay_vigilant.

First of all save your self then you move forward to follow other rules. This post give us a big lesson about our work.

PPE is Must, Safety Precautions

The reason to take safety precautions before entering into the shop-floor. some time PPE helps to protect 100% from the accident and sometimes 90%, but what if we do not take safety precautions, we can see both things ( take safety precautions and without safety precautions). it's helpful to know about the basics of self safety precautions.
