Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Having personal protective equipment (PPE) readily available in the workplace is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it promotes a safe and healthy work environment by reducing the risk of injuries and accidents. Secondly, PPE provides an added layer of protection against potential hazards, such as airborne particles, chemicals, or physical hazards. Lastly, having PPE on hand demonstrates a proactive approach to employee well-being, fostering a culture of care, and compliance with safety regulations.

OSHA Regulation 1910-132 requires employers use appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, potentially infected material or potentially harmful light radiation.
