1
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:17,920
Good morning.

2
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Welcome back to

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,800
the training videos that we are doing
as part of the motor vehicle department.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,120
Particularly today, we're going to be
looking and centering on the PPE element.

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
My name's Ian Gibbons
and I work in the HGV department

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,480
where PPE like in any of this department
is very, very important.

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,040
OK to start off with.

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,480
We have to remember that the environment
that we're in could not only hurt us,

9
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,280
but there are hidden dangers

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,640
throughout this department,
so we have to tool ourselves accordingly

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,040
and look after our bodies
at the same time.

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,640
First things first, before we put any PPE
on, let's get rid of anything

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,680
that could tangle us
within this environment.

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,000
OK, so to start off
with, I'm going to start off by coming to

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,200
the department, putting it on

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,080
some barrier cream, OK?

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Now, barrier cream itself,

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480
is there for protection against

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,440
harmful chemicals, particularly engine
oils, used engine oils,

20
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,720
which can be carcinogenic
if used over a period of time.

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,080
So we put a barrier of barrier cream on
and also it helps us to keep our hands

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,320
clean, at the end of the day,
when we're washing the excess off.

23
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:26,520
In this environment.

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,600
We have objects that could crush us,
that could maybe pull us in,

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240
that could cut us,
that could get into our eyes.

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,240
So we have adequate eye protection
to start off with if we're working in this

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,000
area.

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,480
You will notice throughout the area
we will have these blue mandatory signs.

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,160
If it's blue, you must do.

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,040
So in this occasion, we have to have eye
protecion on when working under ramps.

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,720
The reason being if we don't
have eye protection on under the ramps,

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040
we could be looking up at a vehicle,

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,520
and we could get something
that drops into our eyes.

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,680
And if it goes to the backs of our eyes,

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
it's going to take a little bit of work
to get out at the hospital.

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,280
And it's not a very nice procedure.

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
In the environment, that we work
in, there are heavy objects.

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320
So we have to make sure that we put

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,680
our safety boots on, now safety boots
when you're wearing them.

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,000
They have to make sure
that they have no steel toe cap showing

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,600
because if there is electricity
in the environment,

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,640
then we could probably
get an electric shock.

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,920
So safety boots on.

44
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,520
Overalls, now these are a protection

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,200
against oil, grease and muck.

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,880
Some of our students
tend to wear the full overall, coverall.

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,000
I like to wear the tow piece, so I have

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,160
trousers and a top

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,960
helps me to move around properly.

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880
This not only helps protect

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,120
ourselves,
but also protects our clothes underneath.

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,240
So dress accordingly when you come in
to work within this workshop

53
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:02,760
and if you notice throughout the area,
we've got grey areas and green areas.

54
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,560
The green areas are for walking
without PPE on.

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,760
The grey areas, you have to have PPE on.

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,120
In addition

57
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,080
to our barrier cream,
we can actually wear gloves as well.

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Now these just stop us
from getting injured

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,960
if we have sharp
objects, crushing objects, objects

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,720
that could tear.

61
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,480
So we tend to put some assembly gloves on
just to protect against that

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760
and also keep your hands clean
when you working.

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,760
They do have breathable backs,
and also they have

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,840
like a nice rubberized palm to it.

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,480
You can also use as well

66
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640
if you want to use,
if you don't want to get on with these,

67
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,280
you can use some nitrile or some,
so just some clear plastic gloves,

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880
and they're really good
if you changing oil or if you're dealing

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,920
under a vehicle,
where there's lots of grease around.

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480
So it's really important
that we protect our bodies because

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,480
the hazards throughout this workshop,
could get into our eyes through our ears,

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,560
through our mouth, through
our skin and can cut us or crush us.

73
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,040
So it's really important
that we protect ourselves.

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Finally, just for comfort,
we can actually put these

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040
knee pads in, particularly
if you're working on the ground.

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,160
So slotting our knee
pads into the overalls, on both sides.

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Gives us comfort when we're working.

78
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,680
So now we're safe to work.

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Working within the environment.

80
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,400
Just be wary of the people around you
and how you work

81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,960
and how your work affects
those around you.

82
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
So that was a brief introduction
into PPE personal

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
protective equipment when working within
the motor vehicle department.

84
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Thank you.
