Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training and Certification

Summary Content

What Is PPE Training?

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training provides workers and supervisors with the knowledge required to properly select, use, maintain, and understand the limitations of protective equipment used in the workplace. PPE is a critical component of hazard control, particularly when risks cannot be fully eliminated or engineered out.

Effective PPE training ensures that equipment is used correctly and consistently, which helps reduce exposure to hazards and supports compliance with occupational health and safety requirements.
