Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is absolute MUST for all employees / contract workers working in Warehouse and Transport Operations

 The operating environment can present a wide variety of potential hazards to employees / contract workers

 Operations Managers should ensure all employees / contract workers are provided with adequate PPE for work assigned

 Operations Managers should conduct periodic site hazard assessments

 Operations Managers should determine what personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn based on the hazards present at the site

 Operations Managers should train warehouse employees / contract workers on proper PPE selection, use and maintenance

 All warehouse and transport operations employees / contract workers, irrespective of the storage model and risk involved, must wear High Visibility Safety Jacket
(Safety Vest) and Safety Shoes during work

 Other necessary PPE should be worn as per the task requirement

 Fall protection equipment (Safety harness) is a MUST while working at heights

 Toll truck drivers MUST always wear Toll uniform during work and always follow the safety rules

 Introduction About PPE’s
 What Is PPE? • Why is PPE important?

 Personal protective Making the workplace safe includes
providing instructions, procedures, training
equipment, commonly and supervision to encourage people to
work safely and responsibly.
referred to as "PPE", is  Even where engineering controls and safe
equipment worn to minimize systems of work have been applied, some
hazards might remain. These include
exposure to serious injuries to:
workplace injuries and
illnesses. These injuries and  the lungs, eg. from breathing in
contaminated air
illnesses may result from  the head and feet, eg. from falling materials
contact with chemical,  the eyes, eg. from flying particles or
splashes of corrosive liquids
radiological, physical,
 the skin, eg. from contact with corrosive
electrical, mechanical, or materials
other workplace hazards.  the body, eg. from extremes of heat or cold
PPE is needed in these cases to reduce the
risk.

 Head Protection
Why is Head Protection Important?
• In and around your head are:
• Your eyes, with which you see
• Your ears, with which you hear
• Your nose, with which you smell
• Your mouth, with which you eat and speak
• Your brain, with which you think
• Injuries to the head are very serious. For this
reason, head protection and safety are very
important .

 Head Protection
Potential Incidences of Head Hazards
• Impact
• Falling or flying objects
• falling or walking into hard objects
• injuries include neck sprains, concussions, and skull
fractures
• Electric Shock
• Live exposed electric wires
• Injuries include electrical shocks and burns
• Drips
• Toxic liquids such as acids, caustics, and molten metals
can irritate and burn the head/scalp.

 Head Protection
• Modification of Hard Hat
• Drilled holes for venting relief
• Inserted pencil holder on hat for
easy retrieval

• Hard hat from employee

holding ladder
• Employee on ladder dropped
screw driver
• Screw driver landed on hard hat
and stuck in.

 Head Protection
Proper use and care of hard hat.
• Always wear your hard hat while you are working in areas
where there are potential head hazards
• Adjust the suspension inside your hard hat so that the hat
sits comfortably, but securely on your head
• Inspect the shell of your hard hat for cracks, gouges, and
dents. Inspect the suspension system for frayed or broken
straps. If your hard hat needs to be repaired, have it
repaired immediately or ask your employer for a new one
• Never paint, scratch or drill "air holes" in your hard hat
• Never carry personal belongings such as cigarettes,
lighters, or pens in your hard hat

 Foot Protection
Why is Foot Protection
Important?
• The human foot is rigid
enough to support the weight
of your entire body, and yet
flexible enough to allow you
to run, dance, play sports,
and to take you anywhere
you want to go. Without your
feet and toes, your ability to
work at your job would be
greatly reduced.

 Foot Protection
Types of Foot Hazards:
• Impact Injuries
• Injuries from Spills and Splashes
• Compression Injuries
• Electrical Shocks
• Extremes in Cold, Heat, and Moisture
• Slipping

Toll Global Logistics Safety and Operations Excellence Performance 10

 Foot Protection
Potential Incidences of Foot Hazards
• Impact Injuries
• At work, heavy objects can fall
on your feet. If you work around
sharp objects, you can step on
something sharp and puncture
your foot
• Injuries from Spills and Splashes
• Liquids such as acids, caustics,
and molten metals can spill into
your shoes and boots. These
hazardous materials can cause
chemical and heat burns
Toll Global Logistics Safety and Operations Excellence Performance 11
 Foot Protection
Potential Incidences of Foot
Hazards
• Compression Injuries
• Heavy machinery, equipment, and
other objects can roll over your feet.
The result of these types of
accidents is often broken or crushed
bones
• Electrical Shocks
• Accidents involving electricity can
cause severe shocks and burns

Toll Global Logistics Safety and Operations Excellence Performance 12

 Foot Protection
Potential Incidences of Foot
Hazards
• Extremes in Cold, Heat, and
Moisture
• If not protected, your feet can suffer from
frostbite if you must work in an extremely
cold environment. Extreme heat, on the
other hand, can blister and burn your feet.
Finally, extreme moisture in your shoes or
boots can lead to fungal infections
• Slipping
• Oil, water, soaps, wax, and other
chemicals can cause you to slip and
fall
