How well do you know PPE?: Answers

  1. No. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not specify which jobs require the use of safety glasses or other types of personal protective equipment (PPE). It’s up to the employer to provide appropriate protection based on the results of its hazard assessment.
  2. No. The employer must provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee’s ability to use a respirator before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace. Not all workers must be examined by a doctor.
  3. Generally, all of the above.
