What are the requirements for issuing personal protective equipment (PPE) to employees?

0

The THCA states that employees shall be provided with appropriate PPE, defined as “equipment that is provided to an employee by the employer and provides a level of protection to chemicals to which the employee may be exposed that will be adequate to ensure their health and safety based on current industry standards.” Also, the employer must ensure that the provided equipment fits the individual employee and is functional for its intended use as described by the manufacturer’s specifications. The chemical’s MSDS can be used as a reference for selecting appropriate PPE. More information about THCA standards for PPE can be found by clicking here.
