OSHA Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training
(29 CFR 1910.132-1910.138)
In every workplace exist hazards, and they come in many forms; chemicals, falling objects, flying sparks, excessive noise, sharp edges, toxic fumes, and untold other potentially dangerous hazards.
When engineering and/or administrative controls are not feasible or do not reduce exposure to these hazards to safe levels, OSHA requires personal protective equipment or PPE to be worn to reduce employee exposure to workplace hazards.
In this online compliance training course audio and video are used to address the OSHA requirements for personal protective equipment as outlined in (29 CFR 1910.132-1910.138).
OSHA requires all persons who perform tasks or enter areas where personal protective equipment or clothing is needed to receive this training. This program identifies:
- When is personal protective equipment, or PPE, necessary;
- What type of PPE is necessary;
- Proper procedures for putting on, adjusting, and taking off PPE;
- Personal Protective Equipment limitations, and

This training further emphasizes that PPE is only effective if it is properly worn and maintained. It also stresses the importance of wearing Personal Protective Equipment at home as needed, and during recreational and sporting activities.
