It should come as no surprise that, in addition to specific PPE standards, many other OSHA regulations also require PPE. Here’s a complete list for general industry and construction.

Subpart I of the General Industry standards (29 CFR 1910) and Subpart E of the Construction standards (29 CFR 1926) contain requirements for specific types of PPE. But many other standards require the use of PPE as well. See if you’re familiar with all the ones that apply to your worksite and operations.
