    This document provides recommendations for personal protective equipment (PPE) on construction sites. It states that PPE should be used as a last resort after eliminating or controlling hazards through other means. Basic PPE like hard hats and safety glasses is required for all work, while specialized PPE depends on the risks assessed for particular jobs. PPE must be high-quality, available at no cost to workers, and properly fitted, used, stored, maintained and replaced when needed. Workers also receive training on PPE selection, use, care, and limitations. Site management verifies that PPE requirements are followed.

    Fabrication site construction safety recommended practice – Hazardous activities

    9. Personal Protective Equipment

    Personal Protective Equipment is used as a last resort in the hierarchy of controls


    after hazard elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls.
    1) Personal Protective Equipment is specified for all work activities based on the
    risk assessment.

    Based on typical construction activities the basic Personal Protective


    Equipment in the work areas is:
    • hard hat
    • safety-toed shoes
    • safety glasses
    • gloves
    • hearing protection (ear plugs and/or ear covers)
    • long sleeves and trousers or coveralls.
    2) Additional Personal Protective Equipment use is based on risk. A risk
    assessment is completed to identify Personal Protective Equipment needs based
    on the site conditions and the scope of work. Where job conditions change,
    Personal Protective Equipment selection is reviewed to ensure it is still valid.

    Specialty Personal Protective Equipment (e.g. flame resistant clothing, fall


    protection, goggles, face shields, specialty gloves, respiratory protection,
    personal floatation devices) is specified by procedure and work activity or work
    area.

    Areas where specialized Personal Protective Equipment is required (e.g.


    high noise, radiation, chemical storage areas, hydrocarbon process areas)
    are marked with prominent signage, universal symbols or language of the
    workforce to ensure that personnel are aware of the additional hazards and
    requirements for Personal Protective Equipment.
    3) Personal Protective Equipment is high quality and readily available to workers
    at no cost (except for everyday clothing such as long sleeves shirts and pants/
    trousers), including regular supply of Personal Protective Equipment and
    replacement in case of damage or wear and tear.
    • If the Personal Protective Equipment no longer provides the intended level
    of protection, it is repaired or replaced immediately again at no cost to the
    worker
    • All Personal Protective Equipment types are certified by recognized
    authorities
    • All Personal Protective Equipment are inspected, used, stored, and
    maintained in alignment with manufacturer’s requirements and
    recommendations and inspection records maintained Proper fit of
    Personal Protective Equipment is checked when issued.

    • Personal Protective Equipment which is no longer usable is destroyed


    before being discarded or otherwise disposed of where it cannot be
    returned to service.
    • Baggy or loose clothing is not allowed.
    • Respiratory protection is usedaccording to manufacturer’s
    recommendations.
    4) Personnel receive Personal Protective Equipment training such that they:
    • Are aware of the basic Personal Protective Equipment requirements, and
    of situations requiring additional Personal Protective Equipment in their
    work area
    • Are able to select the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment based
    on the potential hazards and risk to be encountered
    • Are able to put on and take off the Personal Protective Equipment
    • Are able to care for and keep clean the Personal Protective Equipment
    • Understand the limitations of the Personal Protective Equipment
    5) Site Management has a verification system in place to ensure that personnel
    are complying with the established requirements for Personal Protective
    Equipment
