Hand protection - Guidance for selection and use (ISO/TR 8546:2022)
This document gives information on the selection and use of personal protective equipment for the hand protection.
The application of this document requires that the risk assessment has been carried out and the hazards have been minimized accordingly through substitution and technical and organizational measures.
On this basis, this document contains information that supports employers in counteracting certain risks to hands that could not be sufficiently reduced by substitution and technical and organizational measures by selecting and using suitable protective gloves.
This document provides explanations on selection, usage and training applicable to protective gloves. The explanations concerning specific hazards are provided in annexes.
This guidance considers the following risks:
mechanical, (see Annex A);
chemical, (see Annex B);- biological, (see Annex C); thermal, (see Annex D and E);
electrostatic discharge (see Annex F);
ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination (see Annex G).
This guidance does not cover other risks, because pertinent international or national publications are available or because the relevant information was not available in ISO/TC 94/SC 13/WG 8. Risks not covered include e.g.:
cuts and stabs by hand knives;
use of chain saws (covered by ISO 11393-4:2018, Annex A);
animal bites;
needlesticks;
electrocution;
optical radiation;
vibrations;
electric fault arcs;
firefighting (covered by ISO/TR 21808);
sport.
Handschutz - Leitfaden für Auswahl und Anwendung (ISO/TR 8546:2022
Dieses Dokument enthält Informationen über die Auswahl und Anwendung von persönlicher Schutz-ausrüstung für den Handschutz.
Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments setzt voraus, dass die Risikobeurteilung durchgeführt wurde und die Gefährdungen durch Substitution sowie technische und organisatorische Maßnahmen entsprechend minimiert worden sind.
Davon ausgehend enthält dieses Dokument Informationen, die Arbeitgeber dabei unterstützen, bestimmten Risiken für die Hände, die durch Substitution sowie technische und organisatorische Maßnahmen nicht ausreichend verringert werden konnten, durch die geeignete Auswahl und Benutzung von Schutzhand¬schuhen entgegenzuwirken.
Dieses Dokument enthält Erläuterungen zur Auswahl, Anwendung und Schulung bezüglich Schutzhand-schuhen. Die Erläuterungen bezüglich spezifischer Gefährdungen sind in den Anhängen enthalten.
Dieser Leitfaden betrachtet die folgenden Risiken:
— mechanische (siehe Anhang A);
— chemische (siehe Anhang B);
— biologische (siehe Anhang C);
— thermische (siehe Anhang D und Anhang E);
— elektrostatische Entladung (siehe Anhang F);
— ionisierende Strahlung und radioaktive Kontamination (siehe Anhang G).
Dieser Leitfaden behandelt keine anderen Risiken, da entsprechende internationale oder nationale Dokumente verfügbar sind oder weil die maßgebenden Informationen ISO/TC 94/SC 13/WG 8 nicht vorlagen. Nicht behandelte Risiken sind zum Beispiel unter anderem:
— Schnitte und Stiche durch Handmesser;
— Verwendung von Kettensägen (durch ISO 11393 4:2018, Anhang A, abgedeckt);
— Tierbisse;
— Nadelstiche;
— elektrischer Schlag;
— optische Strahlung;
— Schwingungen;
— Störlichtbögen;
— Brandbekämpfung (durch ISO/TR 21808 abgedeckt);
— Sport.
Protection de la main - Lignes directrices pour la sélection et l'utilisation (ISO/TR 8546:2022)
Le présent document donne des informations sur la sélection et l'utilisation des équipements de protection individuelle destinés à la main.
L'application du présent document exige une évaluation préalable des risques et la réduction consécutive des dangers à leur minimum, par des substitutions et des mesures techniques et organisationnelles.
Sur cette base, le présent document contient des informations qui aident les employeurs à écarter certains risques pour les mains, qui ne sont pas suffisamment réduits par les substitutions et par les mesures techniques et organisationnelles, en choisissant et en utilisant les gants de protection adéquats.
Le présent document fournit des explications sur la sélection, l'utilisation et la formation applicables aux gants de protection. Les explications concernant les dangers spécifiques sont fournies dans les annexes.
Les présentes lignes directrices tiennent compte des risques suivants:
— mécaniques (voir Annexe A);
— chimiques (voir Annexe B);
— biologiques (voir Annexe C);
— thermiques (voir Annexes D et E);
— décharge électrostatique (voir Annexe F);
— rayonnements ionisants et contamination radioactive (voir Annexe G).
Les autres risques ne sont pas traités par les présentes lignes directrices, car des publications internationales ou nationales pertinentes sont disponibles ou, car les informations pertinentes n'étaient pas disponibles au sein de l'ISO/TC 94/SC 13/GT 8. Les risques non traités comprennent, par exemple:
— les coupures et les coups de couteaux à main;
— l'utilisation de scies à chaîne (traitée par l'ISO 11393-4:2018, Annexe A);
— les morsures d'animaux;
— les piqûres d'aiguilles;
— l'électrocution;
— le rayonnement optique;
— les vibrations;
— les arcs électriques;
— la lutte contre l'incendie (traitée par l'ISO/TR 21808);
— le sport.
Zaščita za roke - Navodila za izbiro in uporabo (ISO/TR 8546:2022)
To dokument vsebuje informacije o izbiri in uporabi osebne varovalne opreme za zaščito rok. Za uporabo tega tehničnega poročila je treba opraviti oceno tveganja in ustrezno čim bolj zmanjšati tveganja z zamenjavo ter ustreznimi tehničnimi in organizacijskimi ukrepi.
Na podlagi tega so v tem tehničnem poročilu zajete informacije, ki delodajalcem pomagajo, da z izbiro in uporabo ustreznih varovalnih rokavic omejijo določena tveganja za roke, ki jih ni bilo mogoče dovolj zmanjšati z zamenjavo ter tehničnimi in organizacijskimi ukrepi.
To tehnično poročilo vsebuje pojasnila o izbiri, uporabi in usposabljanju, ki se uporabljajo za varovalne rokavice. Pojasnila v zvezi s posebnimi tveganji so navedena v dodatkih.
V teh navodilih se upoštevajo naslednja tveganja:
– mehanska,
– kemijska,
– biološka,
– termična,
– elektrostatične razelektritve,
– ionizirajoče sevanje,
– radioaktivna kontaminacija.
Ta navodila ne zajemajo drugih tveganj, ker so na voljo ustrezne mednarodne ali nacionalne publikacije ali ker ustrezne informacije niso bile na voljo v dokumentu ISO/TC 94/SC 13/WG 8. Tveganja, ki niso zajeta, med drugim vključujejo:
– ureznine in vbodi z ročnimi noži,
– uporaba verižnih žag (obravnavana v standardu ISO 11393-4, dodatek A),
