TRAINING

Before doing work requiring use of personal protective equipment, employees must be trained to know:

  • when personal protective equipment is necessary;
  • what type is necessary;
  • how it is to be worn; and
  • what its limitations are, as well as know its proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal.

Employers are required to certify in writing that training has been carried out and that employees understand it. Each written certification shall contain the name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training and identify the subject certified.
