1.1本指南涵盖了安全操作平板玻璃所需的适当个人防护设备（PPE）的最低要求。 1.2 意图 — 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。本指南将为应使用何种PPE提供指导。遵循本指南将有助于最大限度地减少在使用平板玻璃或在平板玻璃附近工作时人员受伤或受伤的可能性或严重程度。 1.3本指南中的任何内容均不得解释为要求采取违反任何联邦、州或其他监管机构的任何法规或要求的任何行动。 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装备，以确定其适用性。 1.5 单位 — 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准值。 每个系统中规定的值可能不是精确的等效值；因此，每个系统应相互独立使用。将两个系统的值合并可能会导致不符合标准。 1.6 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 本指南的目的是帮助选择用于处理玻璃的个人防护装备，以最好地保护受影响员工免受当地危险评估过程中确定的剩余危险。 本指南假设已经进行了适当的危险评估，通过非PPE手段（工程、行政或工作实践控制）最大程度地减轻了危险，并且仍然存在只能通过使用PPE进行控制的危险。

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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== 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. 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.
