3010 – 04 – Choosing Personal Protective Equipment

After the hazard assessment has been accomplished, the safety team can figure out which types of PPE are proper for the hazards of your workplace. Safety glasses are typically appropriate for any workplace.
OSHA designates that any PPE clothing and equipment needs to be made correctly and maintained. PPE needs to be comfortable enough that employees won’t remove it because of discomfort.
The equipment may not fit every single employee correctly. It needs to be sized on an individual basis for every employee. If many items are worn together, they need to work together so that they don’t cause each other to fail.
