exposure to hazardous substances and dangers associated with animal care activities. To guard<br />
against injury from marine mammals, all workers should wear approved personal protective<br />
equipment appropriate to their task.<br />
Recommended PPE<br />
Full eye protection, i.e., goggles, safety glasses, or face shield<br />
Oil resistant rain gear or oil protective clothing (coated Tyvek, Saranex, etc.)<br />
Gloves (neoprene or nitrile) that are oil resistant and waterproof<br />
Non-skid shoes/boots that are oil resistant and waterproof<br />
Ear protection (muff or ear plug type) when using pyrotechnic devices or operating machinery<br />
Personal flotation device when working on or near water<br />
Respiratory protection from organic vapor hazards may also be required for some operations. If<br />
respirators are used, training and fit testing are required. All workers must be trained on the<br />
proper use and limitations of all personal protective equipment prior to using the equipment.<br />
