Hazard Assessment A written hazard assessment must be completed for all tasks that require the use of PPE to prevent injury or illness from contact with physical, chemical, or biological hazards Hazard assessments will be completed using QCFM 594. The Supervisor will be responsible for ensuring that an initial evaluation and completion of the hazard assessments for any new chemical, task, or operation that requires the use of PPE is completed New Hazard Assessments will be forwarded to EHS for review and approval before implementing the new procedure Hazard assessments for all presently identified hazards are located on the Jacksonville EHS Sitebuilder site LAB COATS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Medtronic Xomed Jacksonville, FL employees working in laboratories and manufacturing may be required to wear lab coats or protective clothing as specified in the hazard assessments for the specific work area Lab coats and protective clothing are prohibited in cafeterias, restrooms, conference rooms, and administrative areas Additional protective clothing (ie. Tyvec suits, aprons, etc.) may be required as specified in the hazard assessments for tasks which require greater physical, chemical or biological protection Chemical Protection Selection Criteria - When selecting personal protective equipment the following criteria should be evaluated: Concentration of the Chemical Physical State - The physical state of a chemical determines the exposure route and potential for toxicity Length of Exposure - The length of time a material is exposed to a chemical increases the probability of breakthrough. It should be kept in mind that during permeation testing, usually a pure (100% composition) liquid is placed in direct contact with the material producing a worst-case situation Abrasion - The use of leather gloves and a heavy apron over regular protective clothing will prevent damage to the PPE and protect against exposures during manual material handling Dexterity required to perform the necessary tasks Garments are selected for use by their resistance to permeation, degradation, and penetration. Charts are available from most manufacturers indicating the resistance of their products to degradation, permeation or penetration of a variety of chemicals Ability to Decontaminate

3 Rev. C Ref. 9.0 Page 3 of Climatic Conditions - Protective clothing add a burden of additional weight, restriction of movement as well as limiting natural cooling, contributing to heat stress. Some material act differently when they are very hot or very cold Types of Protective Material - The following material are generally used in protective garments: Cellulose or paper Natural and synthetic fibers (Tyvek, Nomex) Eastomers (Polyethylene, Saran, Polyvinyl chloride, Neoprene, Butyl rubber, Chlorapel, Viton) 5.3.
