OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels. Employers are required to determine if PPE should be used to protect their workers.

In general, employers are responsible for:

• Performing a "hazard assessment" of the workplace to identify and control physical and health hazards.
• Identifying and providing appropriate PPE for employees.
• Training employees in the use and care of the PPE.
• Maintaining PPE, including replacing worn or damaged PPE.
• Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating the effectiveness of the PPE program.

The employee's responsibilities include:

• Wearing the proper PPE,
• Attend training sessions on PPE,
• Care for, clean and maintain PPE, and
• Inform a supervisor of the need to repair or replace PPE.

Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. Getting employees to use the proper PPE is critical. A Guide To Required PPE is available that shows the 12 major hazard categories and the required PPE for each. It provides a fast and easy-to-use reference to help employees ensure they are using the appropriate PPE. It also is a cross-reference, showing each type of PPE and identifying the hazard categories that require each type of PPE.
