Examplesof those operations include pouring or handlingof molten metals or corrosive liquids and solids,cutting and welding, drilling, grinding, milling,chipping, and sandblasting or other dust-producing operations. Persons in the vicinity ofsuch operations, including other workers, super-visors, or visitors, must also wear eye-protectiveequipment.Various designs of eye protection are availablefor protection against flying objects, fine dustparticles or liquid splashes, and glare andradiant energy. As a minimum, those devicesshould provide adequate protection for thehazards specified, be reasonably comfortable, andfit snugly without interfering unnecessarily withmovement. They must be durable, capable ofbeing disinfected, and easy to clean.In addition, American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI) specification Z87.1-1979 outlinesreasonable ways to select the right equipment andprescribes its safe use. It defines special termsin the eye- and face-protection field, such asabsorptive lenses, bridge size, and cover plate. Italso establishes requirements for welding helmets,hand shields, face shields, and shields for eyeprotection. The standard includes an illustratedselection chart of recommended protectors andan applications chart showing what equipmentor combinations of equipment best suit eachhazardous operation.Appropriate warning signs should be postedin all eye-hazardous areas. Also emergencyeyewash facilities should be provided and madeeasily accessible wherever personnel may beexposed to corrosive materials.The prevention of eye mishaps requires allpersons who may be in eye-hazardous areas towear protective eyewear. That applies to workers,visitors, instructors, or others passing through aneye-hazardous area. Activities should provideprotection for those personnel by procuring asufficient quantity of heavy-duty goggles andplastic eye protectors. Personnel who wearpersonal glasses to correct their eyesight shouldbe provided with a suitable eye protector to wearover them. Arrangements should always be madefor the issue, care, sterilization, and reissue ofthese “common use” eye protectors and goggles.Respiratory Protection ProgramMany repair and maintenance environments inthe Navy are subject to air contaminants that canbe dangerous if inhaled. Most air contaminantscan be classified as follows:Dust. Small solid particles created from thebreaking up of larger particles by machineshop tools and by processes such as paintchipping, sanding, woodworking, or abrasiveblasting.Fumes. Very small particles of condensationof vaporized solids. This term is generallyapplied to metal oxides.Smoke. Carbon or soot particles resultingfrom the incomplete combustion of coal,wood, and oil products.Mist and fog. Finely divided liquid dropletssuspended in air by condensation or atomiza-tion. Examples include solvent sprays andspray painting.6-5
