PPE ACCORDING TO SOP
Regularly assess and update SOPs: SOPs
should be regularly reviewed and updated to
ensure that they reflect current hazards and
best practices for protecting workers.
Train workers on proper use and
maintenance: Workers should be trained on
how to properly use, maintain, and store
their PPE to ensure its effectiveness.
Identify hazards: SOPs should outline the Select appropriate PPE: Once the specific
specific hazards present in the workplace, PPE requirements have been identified,
such as chemicals, biological agents, SOPs should outline the appropriate PPE for
physical hazards, or radiation. each hazard, taking into account factors such
as fit, material, and durability.
Determine PPE requirements: Based on the
hazards identified, SOPs should specify the
type of PPE required, such as gloves,
respirators, safety glasses, or protective
clothing.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF THE PPE USED
Follow manufacturer's recommendations: PPE manufacturers
provide instructions for the proper use, maintenance, and
storage of their products. Follow these recommendations to
ensure that the equipment or clothing functions effectively.
Conduct regular inspections: Conduct regular inspections of
PPE for signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or holes.
Inspect PPE before each use and after any incident that may
have damaged it.
Replace damaged equipment or clothing: Any PPE that is
damaged or shows signs of wear should be replaced
immediately. Do not use damaged PPE, as it may not provide
adequate protection.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF THE PPE USED
Clean and decontaminate equipment or clothing: Depending on
the type of PPE, it may need to be cleaned and decontaminated
after use. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning
and decontamination procedures.
Store equipment or clothing properly: PPE should be stored in a
dry, cool, and clean place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight,
extreme temperatures, or chemicals.
Keep records of maintenance and inspection: Keep records of
maintenance and inspection for each piece of PPE to ensure that
it is being properly maintained and replaced as necessary.
PROCESSES/MATERIALS THAT ARE SAFE AND
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Renewable Energy: Renewable energy
sources such as solar, wind, and hydro
power are safe and environmentally
friendly alternatives to traditional
fossil fuels. These energy sources have
lower carbon emissions and reduce
dependence on non-renewable
resources.
Green Cleaning: Green cleaning refers to
the use of cleaning products and processes
that are environmentally friendly and non-
toxic. This includes using non-toxic
cleaning agents, reducing waste, and using
energy-efficient equipment.
Biodegradable Materials:
Biodegradable materials such as paper,
cardboard, and organic textiles break
down naturally in the environment,
reducing waste and pollution.
PROCESSES/MATERIALS THAT ARE SAFE AND
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Non-Toxic Paints: Traditional paints
contain harmful volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) that can be
harmful to human health and the
environment. Non-toxic paints are
made from natural materials and
have lower VOC levels, reducing the
risk of harmful exposure.
Energy-Efficient Appliances: Energy-
efficient appliances such as refrigerators,
washing machines, and air conditioning
units use less energy, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and saving
money on utility bills.
Sustainable Agriculture: Sustainable
agriculture practices such as crop
rotation, composting, and natural
pest control methods reduce the use
of harmful chemicals and promote
soil health, reducing environmental
impact and improving the quality of
food.
Identification of Scheduled Waste: Identify the
scheduled waste by referring to the Fourth
Schedule of the Environmental Quality Act 1974
(Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005.
Waste Handling Procedures: Develop and implement waste
handling procedures in accordance with the regulations. This
includes proper labeling and packaging of the waste, as well

G AND
CODE Waste Storage: Store the scheduled waste in a designated

Waste Transportation: Transport the scheduled waste in accordance
with the regulations. This includes using appropriate vehicles,
containers, and labels.
Waste Disposal: Disposal of scheduled waste must be done in
accordance with the regulations. This may include disposal at a
licensed landfill or incinerator, or other appropriate facility. Waste
