OSHA's workplace incident data indicate that a significant portion of all work related injuries and fatalities involve workers being struck in the eyes, head, face, hand, and or feet by foreign objects. For example, it has been estimated that as many as 2,500 eye injuries occur in the workplace every working day.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) protects you, your co-workers, and your livelihood when hazards are present in the workplace. Personal protective equipment is not a substitute for good work practices or controls. No single combination of personal protective equipment or clothing is capable of protecting you from all hazards, so PPE must be used in conjunction with guards, engineering controls, and administrative controls to ensure your safety and health.

In this course you will learn what OSHA requires. This includes training on what PPE is necessary, when it is necessary, how to properly put on, take off, adjust, and wear PPE, the limitations of PPE, and the proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of PPE.
