Employers must implement a PPE program to protect employees from workplace hazards. The program requires employers to assess hazards, implement engineering and administrative controls where feasible, and use personal protective equipment (PPE) as a last resort. Employers must select appropriate PPE, train employees on proper use and care, and ensure PPE is worn correctly. Training covers the hazards PPE protects against, when PPE is necessary, how to properly use and maintain assigned PPE, and PPE limitations. The goal is protecting workers through multiple levels of controls with PPE as the last line of defense.
