PPE – Awareness

Standards

OSHA Standard: 1910.132 and industry best practices

 

PPE Awareness teaches about the Hierarchy of Controls, an overview of different types of PPE, and how to determine which types of PPE are required based on the work area and work being performed.

 

Additional topics include identifying the proper respirator to protect against airborne hazards, hearing protection requirements, and the importance of proper fit, inspection, and care of all PPE.

 

An interactive simulation guides the learner through a workshop environment to evaluate the PPE of workers operating woodworking equipment/power tools and distribute the proper PPE.
