Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
This program establishes the framework to reduce the risk of injury and illness by using the hierarchy of controls to eliminate or control hazards. PPE, such as gloves, glasses, face shields, shoes, earplugs, hard hats, respirators and coveralls, are not a substitute for more effective control methods, and use will be considered only when more effective means of protection are not adequate or feasible.
