    OSHA safety and PPE: principles and terminology

    The two OSHA rule books for shop and roof work, federal coverage in Texas, what PPE is and who provides it, and the vocabulary of competent person, point of operation, lockout/tagout and noise exposure.

    You will be able to: Say which OSHA rule book covers a shop and which covers a jobsite, who OSHA covers in Texas, what the employer must do about PPE and what you do, and define competent person, qualified person, point of operation, energy isolating device and the noise terms.

    OSHA safety and PPE: methods and worked application

    A step-by-step hazard assessment applied to a shop task and a roof task, the controls that come before PPE, the six lockout/tagout steps, and worked noise and heat examples.

    You will be able to: Run a hazard assessment for a shop task and a roof task, apply the six lockout/tagout steps in order, and work noise and heat examples with every input labelled.

    OSHA safety and PPE: defects, verification and case study

    Defects at the machine, in PPE, on the roof and on paper; the evidence a reviewer can see; and a published NIOSH fall report worked through with the hazard assessment method.

    You will be able to: Recognise common unsafe or non-compliant conditions at a machine, in PPE and on a roof, name the rule and the correction for each, list the records that show the work was done, and walk a published fall case through the method.

Practical task

Build a safety packet for two tasks of your own choosing (or from a job you have worked): one in a sheet metal shop and one on a roof. For each, run the eight-step hazard assessment, list the controls and PPE with the rule behind each, and work one noise or heat calculation with its inputs labelled as examples.

Hand in

  • A decision rationale: for each task, the hazards found and, for each, the control and the PPE chosen with its 29 CFR paragraph
  • A marked-up sketch of each task showing where the guard, the lock and tag, the edge, the skylight or the ladder sit
  • An assumptions sheet with units: noise levels and hours, shift length, ladder height and any other input, each labelled as from a rule, a recommendation or assumed
  • A pre-use checklist for the shop task and one for the roof task, using the check card as a model
  • A defect analysis for one condition you found or imagined: what was seen, the rule, the correction and the record that shows it was done

Rubric

CriterionMeets the standard when
Right rule bookEach task is placed under Part 1910 or Part 1926 by the activity, and each control or PPE item cites its paragraph.
Controls before PPEGuards, lockout, edge protection or scheduling are considered before PPE, and the noise rule on controls is cited where noise is a hazard.
CalculationThe Fe sum or the heat schedule is worked with units, every input is labelled as an example or assumption, and the limit is read from the cited table or recommendation.
Who pays and fitThe packet says who provides each item, notes the listed exceptions, and says how fit was checked.
RecordsThe packet names the written certification of the hazard assessment and the fall training record, with the details each must contain.
SafetyThe packet does not authorize anyone to service a machine or use fall arrest without the employer training the rules require, and it does not claim an Outreach card as certification.
