Overview
What Is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?
Personal protective equipment (PPE) keeps workers safe who may be exposed to physical, chemical, biological or radiological hazards in their job. By providing PPE training, workers can better understand the importance of using PPE properly and the potential hazards they face if they don’t use it.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide PPE training to employees who must use PPE and come into contact with physical, chemical, biological or radiological hazards.
Training workers on the proper use of PPE can help improve the safety and well-being of workers, avoid costly worker compensation claims and help businesses comply with regulatory requirements.
