    Body Protection
    Employees who face possible bodily injury of any kind that cannot be eliminated through
    engineering, work practice or administrative controls, must wear appropriate body protection
    while performing their jobs. In addition to cuts and radiation, the following are examples of
    workplace hazards that could cause bodily injury:
    Temperature extremes;
    Hot splashes from molten metals and other hot liquids;

    Potential impacts from tools, machinery and materials;


    Hazardous chemicals.
    There are many varieties of protective clothing available for specific hazards. Employers are
    required to ensure that their employees wear personal protective equipment only for the parts
    of the body exposed to possible injury. Examples of body protection include laboratory coats,
    coveralls, vests, jackets, aprons, surgical gowns and full body suits.
    If a hazard assessment indicates a need for full body protection against toxic substances or
    harmful physical agents, the clothing should be carefully inspected before each use, it must fit
    each employee properly and it must function properly and for the purpose for which it is
    intended.
    Protective clothing comes in a variety of materials, each effective against particular hazards,
    such as:
    Paper-like fiber used for disposable suits provide protection against
    dust and splashes.
    Treated wool and cotton adapts well to changing temperatures, is
    comfortable, and fire-resistant and protects against dust, abrasions
    and rough and irritating surfaces.
    Duck is a closely woven cotton fabric that protects against cuts and
    bruises when handling heavy, sharp or rough materials.
    Leather is often used to protect
    against dry heat and flames.
    Rubber, rubberized fabrics, neoprene, and plastics protect against
    certain chemicals and physical hazards. When chemical or physical
    hazards are present, check with the clothing manufacturer to
    ensure that the material selected will provide protection against
    the specific hazard.
