Course description
Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is often the last line of defense from injury when other safety measures fail, such as engineering controls like guards and barriers and safe work practices you learned in training to limit exposure to hazards. There are barriers to wearing PPE, such as matching the right PPE for the hazard, having it fit comfortably, and maintaining it in good working condition.
This course is for workers who are required to wear PPE because they are or may be exposed to physical or health hazards when engineering, administrative, and safe work practice controls can’t feasibly or effectively reduce exposures to safe levels.
Course Duration: 56 min
