The Laws and Regulations Surrounding PPE

November 19, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

Employers have a general duty to furnish workplaces free from recognized hazards.  Part of that obligation is providing employees with personal protective equipment (PPE). This leads to a series of questions, such as: What types of PPE are employers required to provide?  How are they to determine what PPE is required at a particular worksite?  Do they even have to provide PPE?

This webinar will address the legal requirements for employers related to PPE, including:

  • The Hierarchy of Controls;
  • Types of PPE;
  • Conducting a hazard and PPE assessment for each workplace;
  • Training requirements for using PPE;
  • Requirements for providing PPE to employees; and
  • Other aspects of the OSHA PPE standard.
