Does your safety program have any safe work practices or does your Process Safety Management system have procedures with this requirement? It seems to be the fairly commonplace to require personnel to “have PPE available” for some critical tasks that can turn into an IDLH environment rather quickly. For those not familiar with this “practice”, it basically means that the worker doing the tasks does NOT have to have the PPE donned, just merely have it with them. We see some companies require the PPE to be within arms reach; however, most make no attempt to define “have it available”. Do we actually believe this to be a solid safety procedure when this is allowed?
