10. UPPER EXTREMITY PROTECTION Arms, Hands & Skin (Cut resistant) Hand injuries are common. Without the use of the hand or fingers, the ability to work is greatly reduced if not almost impossible. To protect the hands, the proper types of gloves and proper fit must be obtained. Chemical Resistant Cut Resistant Disposable Leather Arm/Sleeve

12. TORSO/BODY PROTECTION Many hazards can threaten the torso/body such as heat or cold temperatures, splashes from chemicals and being struck by a moving object. A variety of protective clothing is provided, including vests, shirts, aprons and coveralls.
All employees are required to use such equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction. Individual specialized PPE must be used for the appropriate task. ___________________________________ Fosters HSE Manual 11.5 Cal OSHA Title 8, section 3380
Hazard vs. Risk - A hazard is an inherent (built-in) property of a material. Risk is the extent to which that material can cause harm. You can reduce or remove risks associated with a hazardous material, but you can not remove the underlying hazard itself (unless you get rid of the hazardous material, of course). The key to the safe use of hazardous materials is using adequate control strategies to keep hazardous chemicals from contacting workers at harmful levels. 1. Elimination - this is a permanent solution and should be attempted in the first instance. The hazard or environmental aspect is eliminated all together. 2. Substitution - involves replacing the hazard or environmental aspect by one that represents a lower risk. 3. Engineering Control - involves some structural changes to the work environment or work process to place a barrier between the worker or environment and the hazard or environmental aspect. 4. Administrative (Procedural-SOPs) Control - this acts to reduce or eliminate exposure of individuals to a hazard by adhering to procedures or instructions. 5. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) - relates only to hazards and their impact on personal safety risks. It is worn by people as a barrier between themselves and the hazard.
PPE shall be reasonably comfortable and shall not restrict employee’s movements necessary to perform his/her work. Defective PPE must never be used or worn. Instructor: Remind attendees, all PPE should be inspected for tears, leaks, punctures, breaks, contamination, or signs of wear before use. One size DOES NOT fit all when it comes to PPE.
Different manufacturers specify different levels of personal protective equipment on their Material Safety Data Sheets for handling acid or alkaline substances. Such substances include cleaning chemicals and detergents. *The minimum PPE required for handling any substance containing more than 10% acid or alkali if not contained in a process pipe, sealed vessel, or vessel with closed lid is chemical safety goggles and impervious gloves, regardless of what the manufacturer recommends.
Some of the possible causes for eye injuries include: ( Review site specific tasks ) 1) Dust and other flying particles. 2) Acids and Caustics liquid chemicals that might splash. 3) Fragments that are propelled when using power tools. 4) Flying particles accelerated by pressure spraying or pressurized vessels. 5) Some types of welding can cause irreversible eye damage without protective lenses. 6) Sun exposure from anything emitting extreme heat. Depending upon the hazard in the work area, an employee must use the proper eye protection provided by Treasury Wine Estates to prevent eye damage. Eye protection must protect against the specific hazards encountered in the workplace. Eye protection must not interfere with the function of other required PPE corrective eyeglasses.

Using hearing protection incorrectly can result in permanent hearing loss. Review site specific requirements for hearing protection. 1) Single-use earplugs - Made of waxed cotton, foam, or fiberglass wool, these ear plugs are self-forming and must be inserted in the ear canal to be effective. Placing ear plugs outside of the ear canal will not prevent hearing loss. 2) Canal Caps - Sometimes single-use and disposable. Non disposable plugs should be cleaned after each use. 3) Earmuffs - Earmuffs require a perfect seal around the ear. Glasses, long sideburns, long hair, and facial movements such as chewing may reduce the protective value of earmuffs. Best practices for additional protection from Hearing Loss: Keep safe distance from noise source - Space and distance can significantly reduce the noise level. Time - Limit the amount of time exposed to the noise source. Barriers - Barriers are also an excellent solution to high noise areas.
Administrative controls have been implemented at all Treasury Wine Estates sites to reduce risk of falling objects and walking into hanging fixed objects.
