Know the Risks

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a general term referring to any equipment that is worn by a worker, in order to protect them from injury (such as safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes, gloves, etc.). PPE required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), any regulation, or your employer must be worn.

Employer Responsibilities

  • Put up signs where PPE is required
  • Make sure employees always use the necessary PPE, and that it is used properly
  • Train employees in how to use the right equipment, materials and PPE
  • All PPE is maintained in good working condition
  • All PPE and procedures for their use follow the requirements set out by OHSA
