ANSI/ISEA 201-2012 The contribution of clothing to maintain consistent comfortable temperatures for the wearer is an important factor in productivity, endurance and safety in performing a given activity. In cold weather particularly, a clothing ensemble must provide the required level of insulation for the comfort and protection of the wearer in the exposure environment. The clothing must maintain the level of “as new” performance reasonably throughout its expected useful lifetime. American National Standard for Classification of Insulating Apparel Used in Cold Work Environments (ANSI...
This Standard specifies design and performance requirements, test methods, and requirements for marking and labelling individual connecting components used as part of a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). This Standard applies to components that are (a) used in the interconnection of a complete PFAS unit in accordance with CSA Z259.10; (b) intended to be used as the primary single link to a permanent anchorage connector; or (c) intended to be used as a primary attachment point between two or more subsystems.

Ce guide, élaboré avec le concours des constructeurs d'appareils et du Syndicat national des matériels et articles de protection (SYNAMAP), s'adresse à toute personne qui, en situation de travail, doit procéder au choix d'un appareil de protection respiratoire. Après un rappel des spécificatons normatives et des exigences réglementaires en matière de conception, de marquage et d'utilisation des appareils de protection respiratoire, ce guide propose une description détaillée des différents types de...
Ministry of Labour inspectors will focus on personal protective equipment at Ontario workplaces in the industrial and health care sectors as part of the ministry's October enforcement blitz. According to a news release by the ministry, inspectors will focus on hazards involving the choice, use and maintenance of PPE. "Workers using inappropriate or poorly maintained equipment are at risk of injury and illness," the ministry said.

This document is intended to provide relevant information to employers and employees in determining whether respirators are needed, and, if so, how the respirators should be selected and used. This publication does not replace the official Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134). OSHA has released a revised Small Entity Compliance Guide for the Respiratory Protection Standard intended to help small businesses protect workers from respiratory hazards. The updated guide, directed at businesses with fewer than 250 workers, explains how to comply with OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard...
Recently, WorkSafeBC adopted the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 107 standard and included fluorescent yellow-green as a mandatory safety colour for road workers. In comparison with traditional Pantone colours, fluorescent materials provide maximum contrast against an otherwise dull or busy background. During a literature review, the researchers found that the most recent study on the visibility of victims floating on water was conducted in 1957. The research team did not discover any current literature on the topic, so using the science of how humans perceive colour, they set out...
9 septembre 2011 L' ACNOR/CSA vient de publier la quatrième version de la norme Z94.4 : Choix, entretien et utilisation des respirateurs . La norme Z94.4-11 sera une version en langue anglaise pour l'instant. Rappelons que son application n'est pas obligatoire au Québec car le Règlement sur la santé et la sécurité du travail (RSST) fait référence à la version Z94.4-93, soit celle de 1993. http://www.asstsas.qc.ca/nouvelles/liste-de-nouvelles.html#n-39a16e95-20cc-4f6e-8868-0e9985224f3d
ISO 16602 and ANSI/ISEA 103 provide a way for you to specify its performance in an objective and detailed manner. When faced with protecting workers from chemical hazards, there are no "all hazards" chemical protective garments. The chemical hazard, work activities, and environment vary from job to job. An "all hazards" garment would end up being too protective in most situations. Over-protection may limit the workers' ability to perform their jobs, adds the risk of heat stress, limits the workers' ability to see or be seen, reduces agility and dexterity, and adds cost...
Overalls become oil-contaminated very rapidly in many work situations, particularly offshore, in some cases within one day. From time to time, there are significant hydrocarbon fires offshore. There is evidence that frequent washing reduces the fire retardant properties of some materials, thereby increasing personal risk to persons and compromising their safety in a fire. Secondly, there is a problem with fires in the laundries offshore. Because of the large potential for escalation of fires offshore, the reduction of fuel loading and the prevention of ignition sources must remain a high priority...
Une nouvelle norme ISO relative aux vêtements de protection aidera agriculteurs et travailleurs agricoles à réduire les risques professionnels liés à es pesticides sont communément utilisés dans l'agriculture pour lutter contre les organismes nuisibles, les maladies et les mauvaises herbes. Selon leur toxicité et le scénario d'utilisation, ces produits peuvent présenter des risques pour la santé de l'utilisateur si celui-ci n'est pas équipé de vêtements de protection adéquats....
Chemical protective clothing has been widely used to protect skin from health hazards that can be found in the workplace or during a terrorist attack. A new ASTM International standard provides directions in using a computer program, called a permeation calculator, to analyze data following a permeation test, in order to determine when chemicals have gotten inside the clothing. The new standard, ASTM F2815, Practice for Chemical Permeation Through Protective Clothing Materials: Testing Data Analysis by Use of a Computer Program, was developed by Subcommittee F23.30 on Chemicals, part of ASTM International...
Cet avis reprend la décision de la Commission européenne selon laquelle la mesure d'interdiction de mise sur le marché du modèle antichute HACA (EN 353-1) prise par les autorités britanniques est justifiée.

International Glove Association launches Certification and Standards 2010 Initiative Program will end confusion over glove standard ratings. In the hand protection marketplace there are many concerns on how confusing the different standard ratings are (CE and ANSI) as well as how they are misused and miscommunicated to the end users. There is a need for leadership from the hand protection industry on this issue. As a result, the International Glove Association (IGA) has staked out a leadership role on setting performance standards for attributes of hand protection and certifying available products...
02/28/2011 American National Standard for Hand Protection Selection Criteria (ANSI/ISEA 105-2011), first published in 2000, is designed to assist users and employers in the appropriate selection of gloves for identifiable workplace hazards that could result in chemical burns, severe cuts and lacerations, and burns caused by heat and flame exposures. ANSI/ISEA 105-2011 was developed by ISEA's Hand Protection Group and was reviewed by a consensus panel representing chemical handling professionals, testing facilities, utility providers, and government agencies. http://www.safetyequipment.org/news...
OSHA recently issued the Enforcement Guidance for Personal Protective Equipment in General Industry, a directive that provides enforcement personnel with instructions for determining whether employers have complied with OSHA PPE standards.
