PPE: The Last Resort, Yet Top of Mind
Your sponsors:
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be the last resort for mitigating workplace hazards per the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Hierarchy of Controls, but for many workers, it is top of mind because it’s essentially their “uniform” for the day’s work. Because of this reliance on PPE, the market is flooded with models in all shapes, sizes, colors, and features, so it’s important to have tools to evaluate what’s available. First and foremost, PPE should protect the worker, but there are extra features and even best practices to be aware of when making purchasing decisions.
Join us on March 17th with safety expert Abby Ferri as she covers the many industry performance standards, in addition to regulatory standards, related to PPE. Fit, features, and style have been innovated over the years, and Abby will discuss how all of these factors should be considered to ensure that workers comply with the regulations and your organization’s policies.
You’ll learn:
- Strategies for identifying PPE needs and solutions
- The current landscape of OSHA enforcement related to PPE
