PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Personal protective equipment guidance, selection, inspection, and replacement expectations for job site work.

  • PPE must match the actual hazard, not just the job title or habit.
  • Damaged, expired, or poorly fitted PPE should be removed from service.
  • Supervisors should explain why each item is required, not just enforce it.
  • PPE is a final layer of protection and does not replace planning or engineering controls.
