HAZARD ASSESSMENT

Employers are required to assess the workplace to determine if hazards that require the use of personal protective equipment are present or are likely to be present. If hazards or the likelihood of hazards are found, employers must select and have affected employees use properly fitted personal protective equipment suitable for protection from existing hazards.

Employers must certify in writing that a workplace hazard assessment has been performed. Defective or damaged personal protective equipment shall not be used.
