SAFETY
PRESENTATION
The FLATE Center for Manufacturing Education wishes to make available, for educational and non-commercial purposes only, materials of the Safety presentation comprised of images, texts, facilitators notes, and other demonstration materials. This instructional resource forms part of FLATEs outreach efforts to facilitate a connection between students, teachers and manufacturers throughout the State of Florida. We trust that these activities and materials will add value to your teaching and/or presentations. Please visit our website for additional resources, including our Made in Florida Video, a unique behind-the-scenes visit to modern manufacturing plants in the State of Florida.

Air purifying Respiratory Protection

Have filters, cartridges, or canisters that remove contaminants from the air by passing the ambient air through the airpurifying element before it reaches the user.
Three types:
Particulate Respirators: capture particles in the air, such as dusts, mists, and fumes. Combination Respirators: are normally used in atmospheres that contain hazards of both particulates and gases. Gas & Vapor Respirators: are normally used when there are only hazardous gases and vapors in the air.

Feet Protection
Have impact-resistant toes and heat-resistant soles that protect against hot surfaces common in roofing, paving, and hot metal industries. When welding and/or cutting, high top (minimum 6) boot that are covered by the pant leg shall be worn. May be designed to be electrically conductive for use in explosive atmospheres, or nonconductive to protect from workplace electrical hazards.

Your challenge PPE Identification

You are given a series of pictures showing workers wearing various PPE. Study each picture thoroughly. List all the PPE that you can identify. Suggest what hazard each PPE is protecting the worker against. Discuss how each PPE work to protect the worker.
