Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
Under OSHA's PPE standard (29 CFR 1910 Subpart I), employers must assess workplace hazards and provide appropriate PPE, generally at no cost to the employee for required items. Verify the current standard and the limited exceptions.
No, PPE is the last line of defense in the hierarchy of controls. Eliminate or engineer out the hazard first, then use work practices, and use PPE to protect against the residual risk that remains.
Do a hazard assessment of the task: identify impact, chemical, noise, dust, cut, and fall hazards, then match PPE to each. A job safety analysis (JSA) is a good way to document this for routine tasks.
Whenever it's damaged, contaminated, worn beyond use, or past its service life. Inspect PPE before each use, and replace respirator cartridges, harnesses, and other lifed items on their schedule.
