CIS 03-163 Assessing the need for personal protective equipment: A guide for small business employers
OSHA requires employers to protect their employees from machines, work procedures and hazardous substances that can cause injury. The preferred way to achieve this is through engineering controls, work practices and organizational measures, but when these controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, an alternative or supplementary method is to provide workers with personal protective equipment (PPE). The purpose of this guide is to help employers examine the workplaces, review their work procedures, select appropriate PPE, and train employees to wear and care for the PPEs provided. It can help employers comply with OSHA's general PPE requirements. Respirators and insulating devices are not covered in this guide.

CIS 02-267 Plan for the removal of asbestos-containing friable materials - Analysis by the occupational physician
Plan de retrait de matériaux friables contenant de l'amiante - Analyse par le médecin du travail [in French]
Article 23, Section 4, of French Decree No.96-98 of 7 February 1996 (see CIS 96-404) on the protection of workers against hazards due to the inhaling of asbestos dust requires that all asbestos-removal work be submitted to the opinion of the industrial physician. A working group of company physicians was set up in order to share their experiences and to propose a method for analysing the various elements of the asbestos-removal plan which require the attention of industrial physicians. The objective is to help the company physicians reach a reasoned opinion on the aspects of the removal plan that are of particular concern to them, knowing that the plan is also submitted to the hygiene and safety committees, or in their absence, to workers' representatives. One month prior to the start of work, this plan is communicated to the labour inspection and occupational health authorities for the approval of technical aspects.

Personal protective equipment with built-in electronics - Reliability
Equipements de protection individuelle comportant des circuits électroniques - Sûreté de fonctionnement [in French]
Integrated electronics are used in certain kinds of personal protective equipment (PPE), either to provide the protection function itself (hearing protection, welding masks) or to generate indications or alarms (respiratory protective devices). The use of this technology raises questions concerning the level of protection provided by this type of PPE, and also its conformity with the essential requirements stipulated in the relevant European directive. The level of protection provided must be at least equivalent to that of "conventional" PPEs. This article proposes a methodology used in the field of machinery safeguarding, based on the determination of risk index and the dependability approach. The purpose of this methodology is to categorize the equipment in accordance with standard EN 954-1. For each category in this standard, a different set of technical measures is applied when designing PPE with electronic circuitry in order to achieve the desired level of protection.

Market surveillance of personal protective equipment in France
Le contrôle du marché des équipements de protection individuelle en France [in French]
Effective public surveillance of the market for personal protective equipment is vital to protect users and ensure that all involved (manufacturers, standards bodies, notified bodies) shoulder their legal responsibilities. This report looks into the way in which European Union Directives relating to personal protective equipment are applied in one of the member states of the European Union, namely France, but also looks into the situation in other EU countries. The Directives concerned are Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 December (CIS 90-381) on the approximation of laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment and Council Directive 89/656/EEC of 30 November (CIS 90-385) on the minimum health and safety requirements for the use by workers of personal protective equipment at the workplace, and their subsequent amendments. The report concludes that surveillance is still inadequate, and calls for more effective European policies to ensure consistent application of the Directives.

Assessment of the protection efficiency and comfort of personal protective equipment in real conditions of use
The lack of scientific and technical knowledge in certain complex fields have led to the adoption of European standards based on insufficiently validated tests, relying sometimes on an empirical approach. For example, personal protective equipment (PPE) which passes the tests required by the standards can nevertheless prove to be unsatisfactory when used at work. Several research investigations have already been carried out on equipment such as fall-arresting systems, protective clothing, and gloves, by several safety and health institutes in Europe. The results suggest practical solutions to improve the validity of several European test methods and to focus more on informing and training workers on the proper way of wearing PPE, in particular respiratory protective equipment and hearing protectors.

Back supports and back injuries: A second visit with the Home Depot cohort study data on low-back injuries
Back supports have been controversial as means of reducing injuries to the lower back. Diverse issues bear on the interpretation of data obtained in a major epidemiologic investigation of the utility of back supports in the retail-trade home improvement industry. These concerns are focused on alternative explanations for the changes in injury rates observed over the six-year study period, on individual and group factors other than the use of the back support that might have contributed to reducing the risk of injury, and on related methodologic issues. Each issue is addressed with specific reference to how it might affect the analyses and the conclusion that supports show a protective effect. Topics: back belts; backache; epidemiologic study; frequency rates; lifting of loads; manual lifting; materials handling; musculoskeletal diseases; personal protective equipment; retail trade.

The influence of personal protection, environmental hygiene and exposure to pesticides on the health of immigrant farm workers in a desert country
A questionnaire was used to collect information on the use of protective measures and the practice of safety and hygiene among immigrant farm workers in a semi-desert region. Blood pressure and erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were measured in the exposed and the unexposed populations. Protective equipment was worn by a minority of farm workers - gloves by 35%, work coveralls by 36%, a scarf to cover the nose and mouth by 39%, and work shoes by 79%. With regard to personal hygiene measures, 83% of the workers changed clothes after work and the same proportion took a shower after work; 63% drank and 46% ate while at work; and 11% used articles of domestic use in the preparation of pesticides on the farm. AChE depletion was found to be negatively associated with the use of gloves, of work coveralls, and of a scarf to cover the nose and mouth and withthe implementation of safety and hygiene procedures on the farm. AChE depletion was positively associated with the frequency of pesticide spraying. Topics: acetylcholinesterase; crop protection; desert climate; developing countries; face and eye protection; foreign workers; information of personnel; overalls; personal hygiene; personal protective equipment; pesticides; protective gloves; state of health.

Although the need for wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is widely recognized within the surface treatment industry as being important, PPE is not always worn due to alleged lack of comfort by some operators. A study was carried out in three firms in this industry in order to compare the PPE traditionally used by the operators and new devices having improved levels of protection, comfort and useful life. As a result of these tests, the firms noted greater operator awareness of risks and a substantial increase in wearing.

Standardization in the field of personal protective equipment
In order to supplement Directive 89/686/EEC (CIS 90-381) with standards, the EU Commission issued three mandates to CEN which resulted in 240 different standards being developed for the field of PPE. PPE standards are developed mainly at the national level in the NPS and NAFu0, at the European level in the CEN/TCs 79, 85 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, which are coordinated under BTS 4, and at the international level mainly in ISO/TC 94. Since 1989 the majority of PPE standards have been developed at European level. The study has achieved to establish the state of standardization, to assess the product-related level of occupational health and safety in standardization, to assess the suitability of standardization as a basis for manufacturing and certifying PPE and to illustrate the deficits of standardization with regard to product-related occupational health and safety. The study does not take account of PPE for the areas of sport and leisure or for work on live parts of electrical systems.
