FAQs

Who needs PPE training?

PPE training is needed by every worker who must wear protective equipment, from manufacturing and construction crews to laboratory staff. Safety managers and supervisors who run hazard assessments and enforce PPE rules benefit as well. The 26-minute video is in English, with closed captions in Spanish, French and 11 other languages.

Which OSHA standard requires PPE training?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 requires employers to assess workplace hazards, provide suitable PPE and train each employee who must use it. Related standards cover eye and face (1910.133), head (1910.135), foot (1910.136) and hand protection (1910.138), plus hearing protection under 1910.95 and respirators under 1910.134.

Do employers have to pay for PPE?

Yes, employers generally must pay for required PPE under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(h), including replacements. Exceptions include ordinary safety-toe shoes and prescription safety glasses that workers may wear off the job, plus everyday clothing and weather gear. Employers cannot charge workers for specialty PPE needed to do the job safely.

When is PPE retraining required?

PPE retraining is required when workplace changes make earlier training obsolete or when the type of PPE changes. Retraining is also needed when a worker lacks the understanding or skill to use PPE correctly. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(f), each employee must demonstrate proper use before working with the equipment.

What are the classes of hard hats?

Hard hats come in three electrical classes under ANSI Z89.1. Class G hard hats are tested to 2,200 volts and Class E hard hats to 20,000 volts. Class C hard hats offer no electrical protection. Every class guards against impact, and workers should check shells and suspensions for damage before each use.
