Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that employers are required to pay the full cost for almost all personal protective equipment (PPE) required for workers by OSHA regulations. Such a sweeping mandate highlights the importance of PPE and the vital role it plays in reducing workers’ risk of injury or disease. But to make sure that PPE provides adequate protection and reduces exposure to workplace hazards, workers need to be trained in how to choose, use, and maintain their PPE. This course provides precisely the comprehensive instruction needed by employees whose lives may depend on their proper use of PPE.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is intended for all employees who may need to wear Personal Protective Equipment.
TIME TO COMPLETE
60 minutes
PURPOSE
To distinguish the types of personal protective equipment used in the workplace, identify the situations in which such protective equipment is needed, and explain how to select, use, and maintain personal protective equipment for appropriate use in the workplace.
