Key Points Methods

OSHA requires employees to protect their employees from

workplace hazards through the use of engineering or work practice

controls. When these controls are not feasible or do not provide

sufficient protection, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

is required.

Employers are required to assess the workplace to determine if

hazards are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitates

the use of PPE. If employees use PPE, employers must establish

general procedures, called a PPE Program, to give employees

necessary protective equipment and to train them to use it properly.

The program should explain when to use PPE and how to select,

maintain, and evaluate it.
