Open type, high heel, or canvas shoes shall not be worn in these areas. The department shall exercise great care in the supervision of employees relative to the wearing of gloves when working around machinery. The wearing of gloves by a machine operator is not advisable, and the wearing of gauntlet type or loose cuff-type gloves around any moving machinery should not be permitted. Employees performing industrial work should equip themselves with general purpose gloves for hand protection against various hazards. Cotton or fabric gloves are suitable for protection against dirt, slivers, chafing, or abrasions.
Leather gloves are more effective in resisting moderate heat, chips, and rough objects.
9.7 Lifelines, Safety Belts and Nets Approved safety belts and lifelines shall be worn by those employees whose work exposes them to falling in excess of 16 feet from the perimeter of a structure or through openings not otherwise adequately protected. The anchor end of the lifeline shall be secured at a level not lower than the workman's waist, and at a horizontal distance not to exceed six feet except, where the waist level connection is not possible. Connections at feet level may be permitted, provided that adequate risk control procedures are followed. Lifelines shall be secured to a substantial member of the structure or to securely rigged lines, using a positive descent control device. If a worker's duties require horizontal movement, rigging shall be provided so that the attached lifeline will slide along with him.
