© 2013 Halliburton. All rights reserved. DID YOU KNOW IF YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ISN’T EXACTLY RIGHT, THINGS CAN GO SERIOUSLY WRONG. For many tasks, personal protection equipment (PPE) is the only thing that stands between you and injury—or worse. Whether we’re talking respirators, safety glasses, gloves, helmets, steel toe boots, fire resistant clothing or chemical suits, it’s not enough to just identify the correct PPE for the hazards at hand. Your equipment should be a proper fit and regularly maintained and inspected before use. For example, did you know that hardhats have expiration dates? And for good reason, plastic gets brittle with age. After a while—or once it’s sustained a serious blow —a hardhat needs to be replaced . At Halliburton, solving customer challenges is second only to keeping everyone safe and healthy. Bypassing Safety Controls The Halliburton Life Rules are a set of core factors that affect personal safety that all Halliburton employees know and live by. These are key components for identifying and managing the hazards in our business.
