Protecting Employees from Protecting Employees from Workplace HazardsWorkplace Hazards
• Employers must protect employees from workplace hazards such as machines, hazardous substances, and work procedures that can cause injury
• Employers must: Use all feasible engineering and work practice
controls to eliminate and reduce hazards Then use appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) if these controls do not eliminate the hazards
• Remember, PPE is the last level of control!

Engineering ControlsEngineering Controls
If . . .
The machine or work environment can be physically changed to prevent employee exposure to the potential hazard,
Then . . .
The hazard can be eliminated with an engineering control.
OSHA Office of Training and Education - Revised by TEEX 12/04/07

Engineering Controls Engineering Controls
• Initial design specifications• Substitute less harmful material• Change process• Enclose process• Isolate process• Ventilation
Examples . . .

Work Practice ControlsWork Practice Controls
If . . .
Employees can be removed from exposure to the potential hazard by changing the way they do their jobs,
Then . . .
The hazard can be eliminated with a work practice control.

Work Practice Controls Work Practice Controls
• Use of wet methods to suppress dust• Personal hygiene• Housekeeping and maintenance• Job rotation of workers

Examples of PPEExamples of PPE
• Eye - safety glasses, goggles• Face - face shields• Head - hard hats• Feet - safety shoes• Hands and arms - gloves• Bodies - vests• Hearing - earplugs, earmuffs

Establishing a PPE ProgramEstablishing a PPE Program
• Procedures for selecting, providing, training, and using PPE as part of an employer’s routine operation• Assess the workplace to determine if
hazards are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitate the use of PPE
• Select the proper PPE• Train employees who are required to use
the PPE
OSHA Office of Training and Education - Revised by TEEX 12/04/07

TrainingTraining
• When PPE is necessary• What type of PPE is necessary• How to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear the PPE• Limitations of the PPE• Proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the
PPE
Employees required to use PPE must be trained to know at least the following:

Training CertificationTraining Certification
Employer shall verify employee has received and understood required training
Name of each employee trained
Date(s) of training
Identify the subject certified

Employer Payment for PPEEmployer Payment for PPE
On November 14, 2007 OSHA announced employer/employee responsibilities for payment of PPE
Employers are required to pay for almost all PPE required by OSHA’s general industry, construction and maritime standards Employers already pay for approximately 95% of the
employees PPE

Employer Payment for PPEEmployer Payment for PPE
Benefits of OSHA’s new ruling: Clear and consistent policy across OSHA’s
standards
Less confusion about what PPE employers are required to pay for
Reduces workplace injury, illness and death OSHA estimates a reduction of 21,000 fewer
injuries per year

Employer Non-Paid PPEEmployer Non-Paid PPE
Employers are not required by the new rule to pay for uniforms, items worn to keep clean or other items that are not PPE
The final rule contains exceptions for certain ordinary protective equipment such as: Safety-toe footwear Prescription safety eyewear Everyday clothing and weather related gear logging

Employee-Owned PPEEmployee-Owned PPE
Employees may chooses to use PPE they own, however, employers will not need to reimburse them Employers cannot require employees to provide
their own PPE – it is voluntary by each employee If an employee provides their own PPE, employers
must ensure it is adequate protection from hazards in the workplace
Employers must pay for a replacement PPE to comply with OSHA standards
Employers do not have to pay for replacements of lost or intentionally damaged PPE
OSHA Office of Training and Education - Revised by TEEX 12/04/07
16
OSHA Rule DeadlinesOSHA Rule Deadlines
Employers have 6 months from November 15, 2007 to comply with the Employer Payment for PPE
The Final Rule becomes effective on February 13, 2008
The Final Rule must be implemented by May 15, 2008

or reduce hazards before using PPE• Select appropriate PPE to protect employees from
hazards that cannot be eliminated • Inform employees why the PPE is necessary and when
it must be worn• Train employees how to use and care for their PPE and
how to recognize deterioration and failure• Require employees to wear selected PPE in the
workplace
