Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employers protect their workers from workplace hazards that can cause injury or illness. Employers must perform a hazard assessment of the workplace and eliminate or reduce hazards by controlling it at its source. However, when engineering, work practice and administrative controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to employees and ensure its use. Remember, Personal Protective Equipment is the last level of control.
