Worksite Safety 04: OSHA Personal Protective Equipment

Hazards in your workplace can be sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise, or many other potentially dangerous situations. OSHA requires all employers to protect their employees from workplace hazards, and when they can’t control a hazard at its source, they need to provide workers with accoutrements such as hard hats, gloves, respirators, goggles, safety shoes, and other gear to minimize the likelihood of a mishap. This 1-hour interactive online course covers many common forms of PPE and how to choose it, wear it and care for it.  While workers may need additional training based on OSHA standards and the specific hazards of their jobs, RedVector’s Worksite Safety courses can help inject entry-level workers with critical knowledge on a variety of OSHA-regulated safety and health topics.
