Shielding workers from health and safety risks at the workplace with an OSHA PPE checklist.


PPE, also known as Personal Protective Equipment, is an essential safety component of many occupations. Managed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), ppe is made to shield workers from illnesses and injuries related to their jobs.


Protecting employees from serious injuries or illness is one of ppe's most important roles. For instance, if exposed to hazardous chemicals, workers must wear appropriate clothing and respiratory protection to prevent contact with the contaminant. To avoid skin contact, those handling hazardous products must also wear gloves, aprons, and other PPE.


The OSHA PPE checklist can be used to assess whether personal protective equipment is required when working with dangerous substances or hazardous environments. In some circumstances, a law or corporate policy might mandate the use of PPE. In other situations, workers could decide to put on PPE on their own initiative because they consider it to make them safer or more comfortable while working. Thus, this ppe assessment checklist is also suitable for checking the compliance of workers with safety regulations when using ppe.
