PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT |
. | |||
Introduction |
||||||
|
When using personal protective equipment, employees must be aware of the
hazards and be trained to use the appropriate personal protective equipment. Employees
must be aware that the equipment does not eliminate the hazard. If the equipment fails,
exposure occurs. To reduce the possibility of failure, equipment must be properly fitted and maintained in a clean and serviceable condition. Selecting the right tool and right personal protective equipment for the job is critical. It is necessary that employers and employees understand the equipment's purpose and limitations. With such understanding, hopefully, employees will not alter or remove equipment because it is uncomfortable. Sometimes equipment may be made more comfortable simply by adjusting the fit. |
