7.1. INTRODUCTION
PPE does not eliminate a hazard at source. If PPE fails and the failure is not
detected, the risk increases greatly. PPE shall be appropriate if selected and
its use and condition monitored. Workers required to use it shall be trained.
See Appendix 1 for guideline on the correct use of PPE.

PPE provides effective protection only when it is properly managed and used.
For a PPE scheme to be effective, three elements must be considered:
i. NATURE OF HAZARD: details are required before adequate selection
can be made.
ii. PERFORMANCE DATA FOR PPE: manufacturers information will be
required concerning the ability of PPE to protect against a particular
hazard.
iii. THE ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF EXPOSURE TO HAZARD: for some
hazards the only acceptable exposure level is zero. An example is the
protection of eyes against flying particles.
For handling of chemical hazardous to health, the approved personal protective
equipment shall be used as stipulated in Use Standards of Exposure to Chemical
Hazardous to Health Regulation, 2000
Under Regulation 16(1), Approved personal protective equipment shall be
used
(a) where the application of control measures specified in regulation15(1) (a)
to (g) would be impracticable.
(b) as an interim measure while other preferred control measures are being
designed and installed; or
(c) where the measures taken to comply with regulation15(1) (a) to (g) do not
adequately control an employee's exposure to chemicals hazardous to
health.
Under Regulation 16(2), where the approved personal protective equipment is
used to control exposure to chemicals hazardous to health, MLNG shall establish
and implement procedures on the issuance, maintenance, inspection and training
in the use of the approved personal protective equipment.
Under Regulation 16(3), the approved personal protective equipment provided
to employees shall (a) be suitable to the type of work in which they are employed;
(b) fit the employees;
(c) not adversely affect the health or medical condition of the employees; and
(d) be in sufficient supply and readily available to employees who require it.

7.2. PPE EVALUATION AND SELECTION PROCESS


Where the need of PPE has been established and no approved PPE brands
have yet been identified, HSE Department will determine the specifications of
the PPE identified.
PPE specifications are forwarded to SCM Department to initiate the tendering
process, which will include PPE sample acquisition from the bidders.

HSE Department will carry out the Technical Evaluation of the PPE samples.
PPE that pass the Technical Evaluation will then be subjected to field trial to
test their fitness, durability and comfort. Trial period may vary between 1-3
months depending upon the type of PPE.
HSE Department will be responsible in coordinating such trial. Result of such
trial shall be endorsed by HSE.
SCM Department then will carry out Commercial Evaluation of the technically
qualified PPE. SCM Department will then inform HSE Department of the
Make/Model of PPE selected, for onward advice to the Line.

For shared PPE e.g SCBA, Air line, it must be cleaned and sanitized after each
use including proper storage in-between uses.
PPE should be inspected frequently also before wearing in most cases, regular
visual inspection is sufficient and remove any defective parts or devices
immediately.
User is encouraged to keep personal maintenance records especially for PPE
such as Respiratory Protective Equipment where staff shall be trained to be
qualified user.

APPENDIX 8: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION


EQUIPMENT

Respirators should be considered if the various control options do not provide the
required level of control of inhalation hazards. The selection of a proper respirator for
any given situation requires consideration of the following factors:
1. Nature of Hazard
The type of hazard, physical and chemical properties, health effects, airborne
concentration, permissible exposure limit (PEL), immediately-dangerous-to life or
health (IDLH) concentrations and warning properties.
2. Characteristics of Operation
Type of operation or process, work area layout, materials used or procedure and
worker activities.
3. Location of Hazardous Area
Distance to safe area and escape route.
4. Respirator Wearer Activity
Respirator use time period (routine, non-routine, emergency, or rescue)
5. Respirator Characteristics, Capabilities, and Limitations
6. Respirator Protection Factor
A respirator protection factor is a measure of the degree of protection the
respirator provides.

Figure 8.1 shows a simplified classification of RPE

MLNG shall ensure relevant respirator fit-testing and training is conducted to RPE
wearer. Each person required to wear a negative pressure air purifying respirator
shall undergo qualitative fit testing. A proper face to facepiece seal shall be obtained
prior to respirator assignment and use.
The associated Assigned Protection Factor (APF) for the selected RPE must be
determined to meet or exceeds the required level of employee protection. Typical
APF for various types of respirators is shown in Table 8.1 below.

Proper respirator selection entails choosing a reliable device that protects the worker
from the hazards to which he / she may be exposed, enabling the required tasks to be
performed with the least amount of discomfort and fatigue.
Figure 8.2 shows a flow diagram to use in the RPE selection process. Once it is
determined that RPE is needed, following this flow diagram will assist in the
determination of which type is needed for the task.

APPENDIX 9: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR HAND AND BODY PROTECTION


CLOTHING

9.1 Hand Protection


Gloves protect the hands against chemical, physical and biological hazards. No
single glove suits every purpose. Conditions, processes and materials vary so much
that every situation may require full analysis to determine the type of hand protection
required
In chemical handling, the permeability and chemical resistance of the gloves to the
materials to be handled must be considered. The chemical supplier or glove
manufacturer should provide advice on chemical resistance and permeation. Many
factors affect the breakthrough times of glove materials including, but not limited to:
Thickness of glove material
Concentration of the chemical worked with
Amount of chemical the glove comes in contact with
Length of time which the glove is exposed to the chemical
Temperature at which the work is done
Possibility of abrasion or puncture.
Gloves selection charts can be obtained from manufacturers to determine the
suitable types of gloves for the applications.
9.2 Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC)
CPC includes a wide range of apparel from aprons, overalls, jackets and trousers to
fully encapsulating suits (gloves are covered in previous section). In achieving its aim
of preventing chemical contact with skin, CPC requires careful selection from the
wide variety of available materials and designs.
Although health and safety literature often advises, "use impervious clothing," no
readily available CPC material is truly impermeable to all chemicals. All common
materials have limitations. Even protective clothing made from similar material but
from different suppliers may have different permeation resistance. This could be
caused by varying material quality, design or type of construction. Table 9.1 shows a
characteristic of CPC materials.
A chemical can affect a CPC material and / or gain access into a protective suit or
through other types of protective clothing by three defined processes.
1. Degradation: The deterioration of one or more physical properties of the
material arising from surface contact by a chemical; eg a change in a material's
tensile strength through surface contact of a chemical could be such an indicator

2. Penetration: The non-molecular flow of a liquid or a gaseous chemical through


closures, porous materials, seams, pinholes, cuts, abrasions or other
imperfections in protective clothing material.
3. Permeation: The process by which a liquid or gaseous chemical moves through
a protective clothing material on a molecular level via:
I.
II.
III.

adsorption of the chemical onto the surface of the material,


diffusion into the material, and
desorption of the chemical from the inner surface of the material.

Materials commonly used in the manufacturing of CPC and gloves are as follows:
Butyl Rubber
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
Natural Rubber
Neoprene
Nitrile Rubber / Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyurethane (PU)
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Viton
NOTE: Always verify with suppliers/manufacturers on the suitability of the materials
prior to purchase of the CPC/gloves.
