The rate of issuance of PPE by profession is updated every year. In early 2017, two important decrees were issued, fixing the distribution of special clothing and equipment. The content of these bills is worth considering in this article.
PPE Act
What about personal protective equipment? The law says that it can be shoes, clothes, various kinds of equipment and many other elements that protect workers from industrial injuries.
The norm for issuing PPE by profession was enshrined in two decrees - from the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Health and Social Development. A special list has been released, which lists about 195 different professions. For each labor activity, certain elements of individual or group protection, special work clothes or shoes, some types of equipment, etc. were fixed. It should be noted that this list is not a dogma for each legal entity. This is a kind of necessary minimum, a guideline for a particular company. Each organization should draw up its orders with a list of necessary special equipment. The contents of the list must comply with the decree of the Ministry of Labor. It is also allowed to make certain additions. So, one or another local act may contain slightly changed types of PPE, additional sets, etc. Only one thing is important: the minimum settings enshrined in state orders should not be violated.
As already mentioned, an enterprise must independently draw up local acts. Such documents should reflect the names of employees, their endowment with sets of personal protective equipment, as well as key dates.
Orders of the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Social Development
The rate of issuance of PPE by profession varies annually. What additions did legislators make in 2017? To answer this question, it is necessary to consider in detail the content of the two main government decrees.
You need to start with an order from the Ministry of Labor. In short, from now on, any company will be able to independently compensate for the costs of PPE from contributions for injuries. In addition, the document outlines the basic methods of protecting workers. These include:
- timely provision of workers with medical and preventive products;
- provision of tickets to sanatorium or resort bases;
- the implementation of medical examinations;
- purchase of first-aid kits;
- training of labor protection specialists;
- job evaluation.
What is the order from the Ministry of Health and Social Development? First of all, about various intersectoral rules and attitudes. In addition, the decree establishes the concept of PPE. So, these funds are needed primarily for protection from temperature conditions that are far from the norm, as well as from pollution. All these factors can have an extremely negative effect on a particular employee.
Criteria and norm for issuing personal protective equipment by profession
Each employer is required to provide personal or group protection for free. At the same time, it is mandatory to take into account the personal characteristics of employees: height, weight, foot size, etc. Another important point that should be mentioned is the mandatory certification of products. The quality of issued PPE can often be observed by various inspections.
As mentioned above, 195 professions are indicated in the list on the issuance of PPE. In addition to this list, information should be provided on production conditions, on the expiration date of work clothes or footwear, depending on the climate, type of work and location.
At present, four main classes of PPE are used in Russia. These types depend on climatic and environmental conditions. Any clothes or shoes should be designed for a comfortable stay of the employee outdoors. In the winter months, the maximum outdoor life should be two hours. The temperature must also be taken into account, depending on which PPE classes are formed. So, it is worth highlighting:
- 1 class. Central and southern part of the Russian Federation. Temperature from -9 , wind - from 6 m / s.
- 2nd grade. Eastern part of the Russian Federation. Temperature from -18 , wind up to 5 m / s.
- 3rd grade. Siberia, Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Temperature from - 41 o C.
- 4th grade. North of the Russian Federation and the Arctic. Temperature from -25, wind from 6 m / s.
Now it’s worth talking about the various sets of personal protective equipment separately.
