Personal protective equipment training

Failure to use personal protective equipment is one of the main factors leading to accidents and injuries in the workplace. OSHA estimates that only 64% of workers use PPE properly, and that 34% of occupational accidents were caused by not using PPE at the time of the accident. PPE is one of the most important, yet overlooked, aspects of workplace safety, so how can you reduce PPE-related hazards?
