3 No.: BCF Page: 3 of PURPOSE 2. SCOPE To establish minimum requirements for the selection, training, use, supply, and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE). This procedure applies to the BASF. 3. DEFINITIONS 3.1. (PPE) Equipment worn to protect the eyes, face, head, hearing, lungs, body and extremities from injury or illness due to: Process/environmental hazards Chemical hazards Radiation or electrical hazards which may be encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation, or physical contact Flash fires Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) 3.3 Hot 3.4. Cold Represents the maximum concentration of a chemical from which, in the event of respirator failure, one could escape within thirty (30) minutes without a respirator and without experiencing any escape-impairing or irreversible health effects. Any material with a temperature greater than 60 degrees Centigrade (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Any material with a temperature less than zero degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

4 No.: BCF Page: 4 of Hazardous Any material/product or source of energy that is able or likely to inflict injury upon physical contact, inhalation, or exposure Breaking/Opening The physical loosening or separation of all types of flanges, screwed pipe, fittings, nipples, hose connections, ell s, tee s, screwed plugs, exchanger tube plugs, valves, tubing, quick-connect or other types of connections where the loosening/separation of such may expose personnel to hot, cold, or hazardous materials Initial Break 4. RESPONSIBILITIES The actual separation/removal of flanges, blinds, manways, exchanger heads, pipe/tubing fittings, hose connections, piping unions, etc. to a point where it can be determined that no residual product (liquid, gas or solid) will present a hazard to personnel. This determination shall be made through a means of verification (i.e. flushing with water to neutral ph or clearing with air or nitrogen). Once the verification has been performed, the PPE may be downgraded to the most applicable level of protection. 4.1 EHS Team Leader Interpret all related OSHA PPE requirements. Update all related safety standards per OSHA requirements. Audit units for compliance and ensure consistent application of PPE across the site. 4.2 Managers Ensure PPE Hazard Assessment for unit/department is performed. Ensure PPE selection list is developed and made available to all personnel. Provide PPE for unit/department.

5 No.: BCF Page: 5 of 20 Ensure procedures for inspecting, cleaning, decontaminating, and disposing of PPE are implemented. Ensure personnel are trained and re-trained as per procedure requirements. Ensure documentation of training is maintained. Ensure PPE selection list is reviewed at least annually and updated when changes occur. 4.3 EHS Coordinator 4.4 Users Perform unit/department Hazard Assessment in conjunction with the Unit/department's Safety Team (UST). Develop and implement the unit/department's PPE selection list in conjunction with the UST. Ensure that the requirements in 5.6 of this procedure are met. Provide training, as needed, for personnel using PPE. Serve as the PPE Program Administrator for his or her unit/department. Inspect all PPE as per the requirements of this procedure and attached Work Instructions. Receive and understand training in the proper use and limitations of PPE before using equipment. 4.5 PPE Administrator The PPE Administrator shall be qualified by appropriate training or experience, which is commensurate with the complexity of the program elements they will oversee, to administer the PPE activities and conduct the required evaluations of program effectiveness.

Ensure that employees are trained in the selection, use and maintenance of PPE. 5.1 General Requirements Requirements for PPE use are found in the unit/department s PPE requirements list (grid). A PPE requirements list, based on a hazard assessment, must be developed by each unit/department to determine the need for and selection of PPE. The hazard assessment must be a written document that contains a statement certifying that a PPE hazard assessment has been performed. The written certification document must also include: the workplace (unit/department) where the hazard assessment was performed the name of the person certifying that the hazard assessment has been performed, the date of the hazard assessment, and a list of PPE specific for each job.

Include in the list PPE requirements for emergency response to flash fire potential, i.e., responding to leaks/spills/releases, where easily ignitable flammables are involved or responding to incipient type fires. The PPE Requirements List shall address routine operations (sampling/handling) as well as emergency response (spills/leaks/fires/gas releases). Note: Use Attachment 1 form and reference example. The unit/department's PPE list should be attached to this procedure in the unit/department's respective Loss Control Manual or kept in a separate notebook. The PPE Requirements List must be reviewed, signed, and dated by the unit EHS coordinator. The list must be updated at least annually or as changes in chemicals, materials, or activities/parameters occur.

8 No.: BCF Page: 8 of 20 Updates/revisions must be reviewed, signed, and documented by the unit EHS coordinator and dated.
