1.1 本指南涵盖了安全处理平板玻璃所需的适当个人防护装备（PPE）的最低要求。 1.2 目的-- 当工程、行政和工作实践控制不可行时，必须使用个人防护装备（PPE）控制剩余的危险。本指南将指导应使用哪些个人防护装备。遵循此指南将有助于最大限度地减少人员在平板玻璃或其附近工作时受伤的可能性或严重程度，或两者兼而有之。 1.3 本指南中的任何内容均不得解释为要求采取任何违反任何联邦、州或其他监管机构的法规或要求的行动。 1.4 本指南可供雇主和雇员使用。应定期评估所需的个人防护用品，以确定其适用性。 1.5 单位-- 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的值应单独视为标准值。 每个系统中所述的值可能不是完全等效的；因此，每个系统都应独立使用。将两个系统的值结合起来可能会导致不符合标准。 1.6 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如果有的话）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 =====意义和用途====== 4.1 本指南的目的是帮助选择处理玻璃的个人防护装备，以最好地保护受影响的员工免受当地危害评估过程中发现的剩余危害。 4.2 本指南假设已经进行了适当的危害评估，通过非个人防护装备手段（工程、行政或工作实践控制）尽可能地减轻了危害，并且仍然存在只能通过使用个人防护装备来控制的危害。

1.1 This guide covers the minimum requirements for proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for the safe handling of flat glass. 1.2 Purpose— When engineering, administrative, and work practice controls are not feasible, the remaining hazard must be controlled with personal protective equipment (PPE). This guide will provide direction on what PPE should be utilized. Following this guidance will help to minimize the possibility or severity of injuries, or both, to personnel while working with or in the vicinity of flat glass. 1.3 Nothing in this guide shall be interpreted as requiring any action that violates any statute or requirement of any federal, state, or other regulatory agency. 1.4 This guide may be used by employers and employees. The required PPE shall be evaluated on a regular basis to determine suitability. 1.5 Units— The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 The goal of this guide is to aid in the selection of PPE for the handling of glass that will best protect the affected employee from the remaining hazards identified in the local hazard assessment process. 4.2 This guide assumes that a proper hazard assessment has been conducted, the hazards have been mitigated to the greatest extent possible by non-PPE means (engineering, administrative, or work practice controls), and a hazard still exists that can only feasibly be controlled by the use of PPE.
