REQUIREMENTSThe Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) in WAC 296‐800‐160 PersonalProtective Equipment (PPE) requires all employers to assess their workplace for hazards that mightrequire the use of personal protective equipment. If PPE has to be used, the supervisor must selectthe proper equipment and require its use.HAZARD CONTROLEliminating hazards through engineering or administrative control measures is the best way toprotect people. The strategy used for the selection of controls is called the “hierarchy of controls”which prioritizes the types of controls that are most effective in eliminating or reducing the risk ofexposure to the hazard.PPE is the least effective method for controlling or preventing exposure to a hazard. PPE providesa barrier to protect the worker from potential exposure to hazards, however due to the relianceon the worker to select, wear and maintain PPE, the likelihood of exposure to the hazard with PPEalone increases.EH&S PPE Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Revised 6/2020 www.ehs.washington.edu Page 3 of 40

In some cases, PPE is required by regulations or internal procedures and can provide an additionalcontrol to help protect the worker. This guide will provide information and tools to assess PPE,manage and understand the limitations of PPE.SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIESEach Supervisor has the responsibility to review all of their employees’ jobs for PPE needs. Theregulations, the degree of hazard, and the engineering or administrative controls that are in placewill determine what PPE is needed. If departments will be using PPE for personnel hazards, thefollowing items must be completed: Assess the workplace for hazardsSelect appropriate PPEEnsure PPE is usedEstablish inspection, maintenance and replacement procedures to make sure damaged PPEis not usedTrain employees in proper use, limitations, care and maintenance of PPEDocument assessment, selection, and trainingIf all of the above mentioned items are documented in existing departmental procedures, such asa laboratory safety manual, departmental Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Job HazardAnalyses (JHAs), for all employee worksites, then no further work is needed.When the hazard assessment indicates that PPE is required, employing departments must providethe PPE to employees free of charge. Exceptions are prescription safety glasses and safety shoes.Where a hazard assessment determines that no PPE is needed, document the assessment andyou’re done. However, remember that if a hazard exists which does not require PPE, otherregulations or programs may be applicable. Contact EH&S if you have questions or concerns.HOW TO USE THIS GUIDEThis guide is designed to help departments and supervisors in the steps to assess their workplace,select the right equipment, train employees and document this work. In addition, EH&S hasdeveloped the following “PPE Tools” for laboratories and shops to assist Principle Investigators(PIs), laboratory managers and shop supervisors in assessing and documenting hazards andappropriate PPE for their specific work areas. Laboratory PPE Hazard Assessment GuideShop PPE Hazard Assessment GuideEH&S PPE Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Revised 6/2020 www.ehs.washington.edu Page 4 of 40

Step One: AssessmentSelect the job, process or procedure you are going to assess. Survey the worksite and identify thehazards the worker will be exposed to while doing the work. Use one of the EH&S PPE HazardAssessment Guides or a worksheet of your own to list the identified hazards. The HAZARDCONTROL AND PPE section below may help determine the hazards.Step Two: PPE SelectionIf PPE must be used, list the PPE that will be used for each hazard identified on your form. Thesupervisor or person completing the assessment and selection must sign and date the form.Step Three: TrainingAfter the assessment and selection, employees required to use PPE must be trained before theyare required to use the PPE. Retraining must be done if PPE requirements change and as needed.All of the following must be covered: What PPE to use and when to use itLimitations of the PPEHow to put it on, take it off and adjust itInspection and maintenanceAny manufacturer instructions and warningsMake sure the PPE fits wellHow to obtain PPEHow to dispose of PPEStep Four: DocumentationThe following information must be retained by University departments to document the PPEhazard assessment, PPE selection and training. Job, process, or activity being assessed Hazards identified Selection of PPE used for each hazard identified. PPE type, brand, model may need to bespecified. Person(s) or job title identified to use PPE Name and title of person completing the hazard assessment Date hazard assessment was completed Name, title, training date for all employees required to wear PPE.Forms are included in the laboratory and shop PPE hazard assessment guides. You may devise yourown method for documenting these actions.Remember: Departments that record this information in existing policies or procedures maycontinue to use their current method and do not need to create new documentation for PPE.EH&S PPE Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Revised 6/2020 www.ehs.washington.edu Page 5 of 40

For example, laboratories write an SOP as part of their Chemical Hygiene Plan. A properly writtenSOP contains all of the needed information along with documentation of the employee training.Back to TopEH&S PPE Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Revised 6/2020 www.ehs.washington.edu Page 6 of 40

HAZARD CONTROL AND PPEThis section provides an overview of exposure controls and PPE that may be needed for a varietyof tasks that have potential hazards. For specific task procedures and recommended controls inlaboratories, consult the Laboratory Safety Manual; for Shops and Maintenance workers, consultthe Facilities Services employee website.Laboratory workerTask(s)Potential HazardControlsPPESafety glassesLight chemical resistant glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts)Chemical splash gogglesLight chemical resistant glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts)Chemical splash goggles & faceshieldAppropriate heavy chemicalresistant glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts) and chemical resistantapronSafety glasses, goggles if splashhazard existsLight chemical resistant glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts)Safety goggles & face shieldAppropriate heavy chemicalresistant glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts) and chemical resistantapronSafety glassesDisposable nitrile glovesLab coat, closed shoes, long pants,long skirt or equivalent leg covering(no shorts)Working with low hazardchemicals when a low probabilityof splash existsSkin and eye irritationFume hood, localexhaust, good generalventilation, encloseprocessWorking with smaller amounts( 1 liter) of corrosive or injuriouschemicals where a reasonableprobability of splash existsSkin and eye damage“Bench top shieldWorking with larger quantities ofcorrosive liquids ( 1 liter), ortoxic corrosivesLarge surface area skinand eye damagePoisoning, or greatpotential for eye andskin damage“Working with small volumes oforganic solvents ( 1 liter)Skin and eye damageSlight poisoningpotential through skinabsorption“Working with large volumes oforganic solvents ( 1 liter), highlytoxic organic solvents or workwhich may create a splash hazardMajor skin and eyedamagePotential poisoningthrough skin absorption“Bench top shieldWorking with small volumes ofhuman blood, body fluids orother potentially infectiousmaterials (OPIM) as defined inthe UW Bloodborne PathogenExposure Control proceduresWorking with large volumes ofhuman blood, body fluids orother potentially infectiousmaterials and/or splash hazardsPotentially infected withinfectious disease (BBP)Potential spread ofinfectious diseaseBiological safetycabinet (BSC)Increase potential ofbecoming infected withinfectious disease (BBP)BSCBench top shieldSafety goggles & face shield, nitrilegloves, lab coat, closed shoes, longpants, long skirt or equivalent legcovering (no shorts), coveralls andfoot covers may be necessaryEH&S PPE Guidelines Occupational Safety & Health Revised 6/2020 www.ehs.washington.edu Page 7 of 40
