Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Construction Worksite Safety

Hazards in your workplace can be sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise, or many other potentially dangerous situations. OSHA requires all employers to protect their employees from workplace hazards, and when they can’t control a hazard at its source, they need to provide workers with accouterments such as hard hats, gloves, respirators, goggles, safety shoes, and other gear to minimize the likelihood of a mishap. This course covers many common forms of PPE and how to choose it, wear it and care for it.
