PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TRAINING

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) TRAINING

Overview:

The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize workplace hazards and understand the proper selection, use, and maintenance of PPE. Hazards exist in every workplace, ranging from sharp edges and falling objects to chemicals, noise, and other potentially dangerous situations. While controlling hazards at their source through engineering or work practice controls is the best method of protection, these measures may not always be sufficient. This course emphasizes the importance of PPE when such controls are not feasible or do not provide adequate protection, ensuring that employees are well-protected and compliant with safety regulations.
