Personal Protective Equipment
Eye and Face Protection
Whenever splashes, sprays, or aerosols of HD's may be generated that can result in eye, nose, or mouth contamination, chemical-barrier face and eye protection must be provided and used in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.133. Eyeglasses with temporary side shields are inadequate protection.
Face and eye protection must be provided.
When a respirator is used to provide temporary protection as described above, and splashes, sprays, or aerosols are possible, employee protection should be:
- respirator with a full face piece
- plastic face shield or splash goggles complying with ANSI standards when using a respirator of less than full-face piece design
Eyewash facilities should also be made available.
