Hearing Protection

  • Does this unit use hearing protection?

  • Mark “hazardous noise areas” and “equipment” (as identified by BE) with signs and/or decals. For potentially hazardous noise areas, signs will be located at their entrances or boundaries, including pathways leading to hazardous noise areas. AFOSH 48-20 para 2.6.3.

  • Conduct initial and annual workplace-specific hearing conservation training on shop or unit hazardous noise exposures and equipment. Consult PH for training materials. Document all training on the worker’s AF Form 55, Record of Training, or equivalent. AFOSH 48-20 para 2.6.9.

  • Personal hearing protectors are provided at no cost to all AF personnel who work in designated hazardous noise areas or operate noise-hazardous equipment. AFOSH 48-20 para 5.2.

Ch. 18 - Machinery

  • Does this unit have machinery?

Fixed Grinding Machines

  • Peripheral protectors, commonly referred to as tongue guards, shall be positioned so the opening between the wheel and the guard is no more than 1/4 inch. AFI 91-203 para 18.6.2.3.2.

  • Work Rest: Adjust these devices closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8 inch to prevent the work being jammed between the wheel and rest. AFI 91-203 para 18.6.2.3.3.

  • Wheels found defective, cracked or out of balance shall be taken out of service until repaired or discarded. AFI 91-203 para 18.6.2.3.5.

Eyewash Bottles

  • Are eyewash bottles being used appropriately? AFI 91-203 para 19.4.4.<br>- Eyewash bottles are not a replacement for other type units.<br>- An eyewash bottle may be kept in the immediate vicinity where employees are working on extremely hazardous operations.<br>- These units supply immediate flushing after which the individual may then proceed or be helped to a permanently-installed or self-contained unit to flush the eyes more thoroughly.

Location

  • Are the eyewash/showers in a proper location? AFI 91-203 para 19.5.<br>- They shall be in conspicuously identified and accessible locations.<br>- No more than 10 seconds to reach and free of obstructions that may inhibit immediate use of the equipment.<br>- The unit shall be located as close to the hazard as possible without physically causing a hazard itself.<br>- Energized circuits located within two (2) feet of emergency eyewash stations and within five (5) feet of emergency shower stations shall be protected by ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
