OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposure to acceptable levels. Employers are required to determine if PPE should be used to protect their workers.
PPE is defined in the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations as:
‘All equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work which protects them against one or more risks to their health and safety’.
Therefore PPE includes equipment such as; safety footwear, hard hats, high visibility waistcoats, goggles, life jackets, respirators, safety harnesses, etc.
