What PPE is Necessary: Employees should know the type of PPE suitable for different risks and tasks, from gloves to respiratory protection.
Proper Donning, Doffing, Adjusting, and Wearing of PPE: Employees need hands-on guidance on how to properly put on, adjust, and take off PPE to maximize effectiveness.
Limitations of PPE: Training should include the limitations of PPE and how it cannot substitute for engineering or administrative controls in minimizing hazards.
Proper Care, Maintenance, Useful Life, and Disposal of PPE: Employees should understand how to care for PPE, identify when it’s worn out or damaged, and safely dispose of it.
