Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

If you face workplace hazards on the job where you need to stay protected, then knowing all about PPE will help you stay safe with the right equipment. Welcome to the “Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)” course meant to cover the different types of equipment employees must wear to guard against workplace hazards. This course has seven lessons that cover everything from basic employer requirements for compliance to individual kinds of PPE for employees. You’ll first learn about the requirement for employers to perform a hazard assessment to identify workplace hazards. If engineering and administrative controls are not sufficient, the employer needs to acquire PPE to fill the gaps in safety. The following lessons go over the types of PPE that provide eye, face, foot, leg, hearing, hand, arm, and respiratory protection. By completing this course, you’ll have an understanding of the types of PPE available and how to choose, use, and care for the gear properly. This program is valid for 0.75 PDC for Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 0.75 hour(s) of recertification credit through the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and 0.75 PDU for the Project Management Institute (PMI).
