General Requirements |
||||||
|
A hazard assessment is conducted to determine the correct type and level of
protective equipment. Employers conduct the hazard assessment to determine if hazards
requiring the use of PPE are present or could be present. If hazards or the likelihood of
hazards are found, employers must select suitable protection and have the employees use
properly fitted PPE. Employers must certify in writing that a workplace hazard assessment has been performed. They are also required to certify in writing that training has been carried out and that employees understand it. Written training certification shall contain the name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training, and the subject certified. Before doing work requiring use of personal protective equipment, employees must be trained to know when personal protective equipment is necessary; what type is necessary; how to wear it; and what its limitations are. Employees must also know the useful life of the PPE and how to care for, maintain, and dispose of it. |
