GB 39800.2-2020Specification for the provision of personal protective equipment - Part 2: Oil, chemical and gas industry (English PDF)

GB 39800.2-2020 is the English-translated version of 个体防护装备配备规范 第2部分：石油、化工、天然气.

Part 2 of China's mandatory series on the provision of personal protective equipment, covering the oil, chemical and gas industries - the sector where the hazards are least visible and the consequences of getting the provision wrong are largest. This part specifies the general requirements for the provision of personal protective equipment by employers in the oil, chemical and natural gas industries, the identification and assessment of the hazard factors, and the requirements for the equipment. It is applied together with the general requirements of Part 1. What separates this sector from the others in the series is that most of what can hurt a worker cannot be seen. A hydrocarbon vapour, a hydrogen sulphide release, an oxygen-deficient vessel, a hot acid line, a caustic splash: none of them announces itself, and by the time they are apparent the protection either was in place or was not. So the equipment provision has to follow from a formal assessment of what is present rather than from what is happening, and the document is built that way. It takes the operations in turn - drilling and well servicing, production and gathering, refining and petrochemical process areas, tank farms and loading, pipeline operations, laboratories, maintenance and turnaround work, confined space entry and hot work - identifies the chemical, physical and thermal hazard factors of each, and sets the equipment that must be provided against them: the respiratory protection with the distinction between filtering and supplied air that is decisive here, the chemical protective clothing selected against the specific substance rather than in general, the flame resistant clothing that must not itself melt onto the wearer, the eye and face, hand and foot protection, the hearing protection, the fall protection, and the gas detection carried on the person. Issued on 24 December 2020 and in force since 1 January 2022.
