EMERGENCY DISASTER EVENT PREPARATION FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) STANDARDS

Standards:

· National Research Council (2011). Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, 8th Edition. Pages 21, 22, 141. Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, Commission on Life Sciences

· National Institute of Health, Animal Research Advisory Committee Guidelines for Personnel Protection in Animal Facilities

· OSHA requires that many categories of PPE meet or be equivalent to standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The proposed PPE must meet the cited ANSI standard. PPE stocks must meet the ANSI standard in effect at the time of its manufacture or provide protection equivalent to PPE manufactured to the ANSI criteria. OSHA requires PPE to meet the following ANSI standards:

· Eye and Face Protection: ANSI Z87.1-1989 (USA Standard for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection).

· Head Protection: ANSI Z89.1-1986.

· Foot Protection: ANSI Z41.1-1991.

· For hand protection, there is no ANSI standard for gloves but OSHA recommends that selection be based upon the tasks to be performed and the performance and construction characteristics of the glove material. For protection against chemicals, glove selection must be based on the chemicals encountered, the chemical resistance and the physical properties of the glove material.
