Protecting Employees from Protecting Employees from Workplace HazardsWorkplace Hazards
• Employers must protect employees from hazards such as falling objects, harmful substances, and noise exposures that can cause injury
• Employers must: Use all feasible engineering and work practice
controls to eliminate and reduce hazards Use personal protective equipment (PPE) if the
controls don’t eliminate the hazards. • PPE is the last level of control!

SummarySummary
• Assess the workplace for hazards
• Use engineering and work practice controls to eliminate or reduce hazards before using PPE
• Select appropriate PPE to protect employees from hazards that cannot be eliminated
• Inform employees why the PPE is necessary, how and when it must be worn
• Train employees how to use and care for their PPE, including how to recognize deterioration and failure
• Require employees to wear selected PPE
Employers must implement a PPE program where they:
