Safety First Series - Process Operator - OSHA Level 'C-2' PPE Protection - FULL FACE RESPIRATOR

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

Process operators work in many industries, and in plants that produce electricity, commodity gases (natural gas, propane, butane), gasoline, diesel fuel, industrial chemicals, plastics, ultra pure water, pharmaceuticals, and other such products. To help protect the workers in these industries, The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed, together with the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), whose Standard 1910.120 Appendix B details the four basic levels of protective gear (PPE Levels A-D) required for the Process Operator, with Level A being the highest level of protection and level D being the lowest). This model represents a Process Operator dressed in one style of Level 'C-2' attire, designed to protect against both Level 'D' atmospheric contaminants (dust/dirt), and liquid splashes which could contact or be absorbed through the skin. It consists of either the two-piece work uniform or work coverall worn beneath a Dupont Tychem chemical resistant hooded coverall, chemical resistant boots, inner and outer chemically resistant gloves, full face dual cartridge air purifying respirator (eliminating the need for safety eyeglasses and goggles), and hard hat. Additionally, both the boots and outer gloves are tapped to the uniform to prevent liquid entry.
