36 NFPA70E 2012 Personal Protective Equipment

37 Protective Clothing Topics Evaluating Workplace Hazards Protecting Your Employees Work clothing and FR apparel standards NFPA 70E, 2012 Science vs. Real World Managing Your Clothing Assets Apparel selection criteria Rent vs. buy Home wash vs. industrial laundry

38 Evaluating Workplace Hazards Hazard Assessment Goals

39 Hazard Assessment Goals Identification of hazards presenting unacceptable risk to employee health, safety and productivity. Selection of practical and feasible control strategies that minimize employee exposures and optimize employee comfort. Identifying and controlling workplace hazards involves both hard data and a savvy understanding of soft issues

40 Hazard Assessment Practices Many methods, tools and resources exist to help in completion of hazard recognition phase, including: Standards / OSHA regulations review Review of records / files Literature review Walk-around surveys Staff interviews

41 Protecting Your Employees Standards / Regulations

42 General Standards Applicable to Protective Apparel OSHA s General Duty Clause Employer has the responsibility to provide a place of employment free from recognized hazards Consider the risks Address those risks Develop an action plan Consumer Products Safety Commission s Requirements for Clothing Textiles, Title 16 C.F.R. Part 1610 Purpose of general wearing apparel flammability standards is to keep dangerously flammable textiles and garments made of these textiles out of commerce Ease of ignition Flame spread time

43 Title 16 C.F.R. Part 1610 Regulation establishes three classes of flammability based on the time of flame spread: Class 1: Normal Flammability (4+ seconds) Class 2: Intermediate Flammability (4 to 7 seconds) Class 3: Rapid, Intense Burning (- 4 seconds) Not suitable for clothing Daily-wear sold in U.S. is required to meet Class 1 or 2 requirements.

44 Standards Specific to Industry 29 CFR The employer shall ensure that each employee who is exposed to the hazards of flames or electric arc does not wear clothing that, when exposed to flames or electric arcs, could increase the extent of the injury that would be sustained by the employee. Flame resistance: ASTM D 6413 Protection from flash fire: NFPA 2112 Protection from molten substances: ASTM F Insuring electrical safety: NFPA 70E ASTM F 1506 NESC

45 ASTM D Flame Resistance Vertical flame test records: AFTERFLAME: number of seconds there is visible flame upon removal of the source After flame must average 2.0 seconds maximum AFTERGLOW: number of seconds there is visible glow, upon removal of the source After glow must average 5.0 seconds maximum CHAR LENGTH: measurement of fabric destroyed by flame. Char length must average 6.0 inches maximum

46 NFPA Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire If potential for flash fire is determined to exist, flame resistant apparel must be used that passes ASTM F1930

47 ASTM F Evaluating Heat Transfer upon Contact with Molten After impact: Visual examination: Substances Charring, Shrinkage, Metal adherence, & Perforation Calorimeter temperature rise Amount of heat transferred through the fabric or layers of fabric is recorded

48 National Electric Safety Code (NESC ) Definition: for Utilities The NESC determines the ground rules to be used by persons while in installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply and communication lines and associated equipment The NESC is not law It s considered a voluntary consensus standard Note: OSHA references the NESC when enforcing electrical safety in the utility market.

49 NFPA 70E - Standard for Electrical NFPA 70E overview: Safety Incident Energy Analysis Hazard Risk Categories (HRC) ASTM F 1506 requires: Thread, findings and closures must not contribute to injury in an arc event. Testing for Flame resistance after 25 laundry cycles, (home wash) or dry cleanings, in accordance with ASTM D Arc rating must appear on clothing labels

50 NFPA 70E 2112 Standard for Electrical Safety Next Revision Cycle Proposals and comment period conducted in 2010 Approval at the annual meeting in June.

51 Overview of Proposals 540 proposals received. 44% rejected The balance was: Accepted Accepted in principle Accepted in Part

52 General Direction More specific line item requirements. Lowering of acceptable levels of risk. Not much change to higher risk/ higher energy tasks. Change at the low energy end. PPE required Emphasis on FR quality.

53 New Requirements Requires documentation of meetings between host employers and contractors. Adds the regular supervision clause in for all employers. The employer shall determine, through regular supervision and or through inspections conducted on at least an annual basis that each employee is complying with the safety-related work practices required by this standard. Mandatory retraining every 3 years.

54 Work Permit Expanded situations where Energized Work Permit is required. When working within the Limited Approach Boundary or the arc flash boundary of exposed energized electrical conductors and circuit parts that are not placed in an electrically safe work condition work to be performed shall be considered energized electrical work and shall be performed by written permit only.

55 AED Training - Annual Employees responsible for taking action in case of emergency shall be trained in methods of release of victims from contact with exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. Employees shall be regularly instructed in methods of first aid and emergency procedures, such as approved methods of resuscitation. Training of employees in approved methods of resuscitation, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic external defibrillator (AED) use, shall be certified by the employer annually.

56 Equipment Labeling Electrical equipment such as switchboards, panel boards, industrial control panels, meter socket enclosures, and motor control centers that are in other than dwelling units, that and are likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized shall be field marked with a label containing all the following information: (1) At least one of the following: a. Available incident energy and the corresponding working distance. b. Minimum arc rating of clothing. c. Required level of PPE. d. Highest Hazard/Risk Category (HRC) for the equipment. (2) Nominal system voltage (3) Arc flash boundary Exception: Labels applied prior to September 30, 2011 are acceptable if they contain the available incident energy or required level of PPE. The method of calculating and data to support the information for the label shall be documented.

57 Other New Requirements Hearing protection required for all work inside arc flash boundary. Requires balaclava for all category 2 work. Added arc flash requirements for DC Hazards. Revised Battery Section. New tables and revised tables. New and revised annexes.

58 Next Steps Approved at annual NFPA Meeting Published September, 2011 Implementation

59 Science vs. Real World Testing is done in a controlled environment

60 Science vs. Real World Organizations must view the specific needs/goals unique to their environment Remember the testing done is not real world Molten Splash, Electric Arc, Flash Fire each event is unique.
