Personal Protective Equipment: Your Final Defense

Your PPE, which is specifically chosen for your job and your situation, acts as a final defense against the dangers at your workplace. When it comes to PPE, both employees and employers have responsibilities. The employers must furnish the correct equipment and tell you of the hazards of your job, and the employees actually have to use the PPE provided. If either of these do not happen, the risk of potentially serious injuries drastically increases. The injuries may even be permanent. This is why the right PPE used in the proper way is so important. Utilize the information presented in the training video and understand the unique hazards your job may possess, as well as the correct PPE to use. Your workplace will be that much safer because of it..
