OSHA requires employers to keep their employees safe while they are at work. To this end, employers must provide workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the eyes and face whenever possible against chemical, environmental, radiological, or mechanical irritants and hazards. OSHA spells out different types of PPE standards for various industries. Here, you will learn about the different types of PPE available for your eyes and face, as well as how to use and maintain them properly. You will also learn about the injuries workers can suffer to their eyes and face without PPE, and how to prevent and treat them.
Specific topics covered in this course include:
The length of time for which the training is valid is determined by OSHA 29 CFR § 1910.132 Personal Protective Equipment:
1910.132(f)(1)
The employer shall provide training to each employee who is required by this section to use PPE.
1910.132(f)(3)
When the employer has reason to believe that any affected employee who has already been trained does not have the understanding and skill required by paragraph (f)(2) of this section, the employer shall retrain each such employee. Circumstances where retraining is required include, but are not limited to, situations where:
1910.132(f)(3)(i)
Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; or
1910.132(f)(3)(ii)
Changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete; or
1910.132(f)(3)(iii)
Inadequacies in an affected employee's knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.
