Risk-Oriented Approach to Providing Employees with Personal Protective Equipment



Annotation:

An example of determining the list of personal protective equipment and flushing agents for an electric and gas welder is considered, taking into account the risk-oriented approach in accordance with the Uniform standards for issuing personal protective equipment and flushing agents. An analysis is also being made of the sufficiency of providing personal protective equipment for an electric and gas welder of LLC Gazprom UGS after the entry into force of the order approving the Uniform standards for issuing personal protective equipment and washing agents.
In the course of the study the hazards were identified, and occupational risks were assessed using the Fine-Kinney method for the workplace of an electric and gas welder at LLC Gazprom UGS. Based on the results of the assessment of the occupational risks, a list of personal protective equipment was determined that is required to provide an electric and gas welder in accordance with the Uniform standards for issuing personal protective equipment and washing agents.
A comparative analysis of the current norms for the issuance of protective equipment to an electric and gas welder at LLC Gazprom UGS, and the list of protective equipment required to ensure it in accordance with the Uniform Standards for the issuance of personal protective equipment and washing agents showed no significant differences. However, this study showed that the use of a risk-oriented approach to providing workers with personal protective equipment will allow identifying hazards at a particular workplace and selecting more effective protective equipment based on the results of a special assessment of working conditions and occupational risk assessment.
