EGN-3333 Health, Safety & Environment: PPE Lab Report, Spring 2018

This lab report, submitted for the Health, Safety, and Environment course (EGN-3333) in Spring 2018, focuses on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The experiment involves inspecting defective PPE, conducting risk assessments, and developing mitigation plans. The report includes sections on materials and equipment, experimental setup, data and results featuring photographs of safety signs and defective PPE, and a detailed analysis of the implications of using damaged equipment. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of PPE and hazard identification in maintaining a safe workplace. References to relevant academic papers are also provided. This solved assignment is available on Desklib, a platform offering study tools and resources for students.

Introduction and Purpose
In any workplace the operational health and safety maintenance is chiefly essential where the
management of the organisation provides the safe and harmless environment. The purpose of this
experiment is to inspect the defective Personal Protection Equipment while making appropriate
risk assessment and mitigation plan.
Material and Equipment
Notebook, Pen, Camera, Range of hazard identification signs and symbols, Various defective
PPE equipments
Experimental Set up and procedure
Initially a visit of the collage workshop and engineering lab has been arranged. The instructor
demonstrated the workplace safe arrangement and best occupational safety and health practices.
The personal protective equipments have been shown. After that the implementation of
emergency system poster and various safety equipments like manual and automatic fire
extinguisher have been demonstrated. Various workplace safety signs have been shown.
Throughout this process, numerous pictures of PPEs, signs, fire extinguishers have been taken
for evidence collection and analysis. In second stage, after collecting digital photo of 4 safety
instruction signs, 4 hazard warnings, 4 restricted items or prohibited practices and 4 safety
information a wall poster have been made. Finally, various illustrations of defective PPEs have
been shown to develop a report about the potential result for this disputes in PPEs and the scope
of resolving these issues.

Defective PPE: Fractured helmet

IF the helmet were in good condition it would able to protect the head of the user from any
external impacts and damage. It could prevent any kind of head injury. Because of the fracture in
the helmet it cannot be used for its actual purpose of protecting the users head. Apart from that
the fractured portion of the helmet can cause additional damage to the user’s hand and other
body parts without any external collision.
Conclusion
From this project, the process of inspection of defective Personal Protection Equipment has been
learned while making appropriate risk assessment and mitigation plan. It also helped to
understand the purpose of PPEs and the safe work place environment. This project allows the
learners to learn the hazard identification system as well as protection procedures.
