Proper Lifting Techniques:

Bend at the knees, not the waist, to lift items. Keep your back straight and use your leg muscles to raise the load.
Keep the object close to your body to maintain balance and reduce strain on your back.
Avoid twisting your body while lifting. Instead, pivot your feet to change direction.

Back Support Belts – If provided, employees may use back support belts during heavy lifting to reduce strain.
Reporting Injuries and Hazards
Employees should report any work-related injury immediately to their supervisor, regardless of severity.
If an employee identifies a potential hazard or a task that feels unsafe, it should be reported to management, and corrective action will be taken.
Responsibilities
Employees are responsible for following proper lifting procedures, using PPE, and asking for assistance when needed.

This policy provides guidelines for minimizing risks and ensuring that proper safety measures are followed, including the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to reduce the dangers of lead exposure and other potential hazards.

Purpose
At Top Gun Range, maintaining a clean and healthy environment is essential for the well-being of both employees and customers. This policy outlines the hygiene standards that all employees must adhere to, with special attention to lead decontamination procedures to reduce the risks of lead exposure associated with firearm use.

Policy Overview
All employees are expected to maintain high standards of personal hygiene. This includes ensuring clean attire, minimizing unpleasant odors, and following specific protocols for washing hands and removing lead particles (deleading) after contact with firearms, ammunition, or range equipment.

General Hygiene Standards
Personal Cleanliness:

Employees must report to work in clean, appropriate clothing that is free of offensive odors.
Daily bathing and the use of deodorant are encouraged to prevent body odor from becoming a distraction in the workplace.
Hair must be clean and, if long, tied back for safety and cleanliness.
Clothing:

Clothing worn in areas where lead exposure occurs (e.g., live fire ranges or ammunition handling areas) must be washed regularly. Lead-contaminated clothing should not be worn outside of work.
Handwashing and Deleading Procedures
Due to the risk of lead exposure, stringent handwashing and deleading procedures are required, especially after handling firearms or ammunition. These protocols are designed to prevent lead ingestion and contamination.

When to Wash Hands: Employees must wash their hands:

Before and after eating or drinking.
After using the restroom.
After handling firearms, ammunition, or spent casings.
Before leaving the range to prevent bringing lead contamination home or to other areas.
After touching shared surfaces in high-risk areas, such as range equipment, workstations, or customer items.
Proper Handwashing Technique:

Use lead-removal soap or hand wipes (provided by Top Gun Range) to effectively remove lead particles. Regular soap alone is not sufficient for lead removal.
Scrub hands thoroughly, paying close attention to under fingernails, the backs of hands, and between fingers for at least 20 seconds.
Rinse thoroughly under clean, running water and dry with disposable paper towels.
Deleading Stations:

Dedicated deleading stations are provided in key areas such as the range exit, break rooms, and restrooms. Employees must use these stations to clean hands and exposed skin after working in areas with lead contamination.
Lead-removal wipes will be available at all deleading stations for quick cleanup when soap and water are not immediately available.
PPE and Contamination Control
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Employees are required to wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, when handling lead-based ammunition, firearms, or working in the range area. Gloves help minimize direct contact with lead particles.
Employees must also wear respirators and Tyvek suits in high-exposure areas, particularly during cleaning or maintenance activities where lead dust may be present.
Changing and Decontamination:

Employees should change out of work clothes and remove PPE before entering clean areas such as break rooms or offices.
Lead-contaminated clothing must be stored separately from personal items, and PPE must be removed in designated areas to prevent cross-contamination.
Nail Care and Jewelry
Nail Care:
Employees must keep nails short and clean, as long nails can harbor lead particles that are difficult to remove.
Jewelry:
To reduce the risk of contamination, employees are encouraged to avoid wearing jewelry (especially rings, watches, or bracelets) while working in lead-exposed areas. Jewelry can trap lead particles, making them harder to remove during handwashing.
No Eating, Drinking, or Smoking in Contaminated Areas
Restricted Areas:
Eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics is strictly prohibited in areas where lead contamination is possible (e.g., the range floor, ammunition storage areas). These activities can increase the risk of ingesting lead particles.
Designated Break Areas:
Employees must use designated break areas for meals, drinks, and personal activities. Hands must be thoroughly washed before entering these areas.
Laundering and Cleaning of Work Clothes
Lead-Contaminated Clothing:
Clothing worn in high-risk areas must be laundered separately from other garments to prevent cross-contamination.
Employees are encouraged to change into fresh clothes before leaving work to avoid carrying lead particles home.
Employee Responsibilities
Employees are responsible for adhering to all hygiene protocols, including washing hands and deleading after exposure to lead, maintaining clean personal attire, and following the guidelines for eating, drinking, and handling contaminated materials.
Management will ensure that deleading stations are adequately supplied, PPE is available, and employees are properly trained on hygiene and decontamination procedures.
Conclusion
By following these hygiene standards, Top Gun Range is committed to protecting the health and safety of all employees. These protocols, particularly those related to lead exposure, are essential to maintaining a safe work environment and preventing contamination both at work and at home.
