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 exposure to acceptable levels. Employers
are required to determine if PPE should be used to
protect their workers.
If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should address the hazards present; the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE; the training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness.
