The idea of wearing PPE is not new. It dates as far back as ancient times when soldiers wore protective head and face gear and body armor during battle. However, it wasn’t until the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in the mid-1930s that PPE was required on a large-scale construction project. The industry norm at the time was that one worker was expected to die for every million dollars spent on a construction project. At a cost of $35 million, that meant 35 workers were expected to die while constructing the Golden Gate Bridge. Joseph Strauss, the chief engineer on the project, refused to accept that and made safety a priority, spending $130,000 on an innovative safety net and requiring the use of PPE such as fall protection safety belts, glare-free goggles, and hard hats. A total of eleven – not 35 - workers lost their lives on that project and ten of those fatalities occurred during a single accident when a 5-ton work platform broke off and fell through the safety net. The use of PPE continued to be optional on most construction sites for several decades until the creation of OSHA in 1971. Today, [OSHA](https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/intro_osha/7_employee_ppe.pdf) requires employers to protect workers from workplace hazards that can cause injury or illness, including providing and requiring the use of appropriate PPE. ## **Determining Appropriate PPE** The first step to determining what PPE is needed is to perform a hazard assessment of the worksite. A few common hazards include the following: - Sharp edges - Falling objects - Flying sparks - Fluctuating temperatures - Chemicals - Noise The next step is to determine the appropriate types of PPE needed to protect workers from those hazards. OSHA recommends exceeding minimum standards. PPE should fit properly and be well-maintained. Employees must also be trained in the proper use of PPE, including the following: - When PPE is necessary - What PPE is necessary - How to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear the PPE - The limitations of the PPE - Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of PPE Training must be documented, and if a previously trained employee is not “demonstrating the proper understanding and skill level in the use of PPE,” they should receive additional training. ## **Types of Protection** The following are types of protection typically needed at construction sites: - **Head Protection** – Construction workers should wear hard hats when there is a potential for objects falling from above, bumps to the head from fixed objects, or accidental head contact with electrical hazards. Those hats should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed. - **Eye and Face Protection** – Construction workers should wear safety glasses or face shields when exposed to any electrical hazards and when they are in danger of having flying particles get in their eyes. For example, during welding, cutting, grinding, and nailing. - **Hearing Protection** – Construction workers should wear earplugs or earmuffs when exposed to loud noises, such as around the use of chainsaws or heavy equipment. - **Foot Protection** – Construction workers should wear safety-toed footwear that has slip-resistant and puncture-resistant soles. - **Hand protection** – Construction workers should wear gloves that fit snuggly and wear the right gloves for the job. For example, heavy-duty rubber gloves for concrete work, welding gloves for welding, and insulated gloves and sleeves when exposed to electrical hazards. ## **Use Insurance as Your Safety Net!** ## **![Trusted Choice Independent Insurance Agents](https://www.aigltd.com/hs-fs/hubfs/American_Insurance_Group-Images/Trusted-Choice-Independent-Insurance-Agent-Reading-Pennsylvania-175-a.jpg?width=160&name=Trusted-Choice-Independent-Insurance-Agent-Reading-Pennsylvania-175-a.jpg)** Just like the safety nets used during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, the right insurance can act as a safety net when - despite all of your efforts - an accident does occur.
