Personal Protective Equipment Program
The following report answers questions on a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program project. It will briefly describe the different components of a PPE Program for a company called ABC Plastics and outline the elements of a typical program.
Scope and Description of the PPE Program
ABC Plastics Company will access the workplace to identify and evaluate the hazards present or potential hazards likely to be present which requires the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). If the hazards are present or likely to be present, we will as far as it is reasonably practicable remove or eliminate the hazards or exposure through engineering control. Where this is not feasible, we will select the type of PPE that will protect the employee, require that the PPE is used by the employee and communicate the selection decision to the employees.
The purpose of this PPE program is to protect our employees by ensuring that the workers are trained on the use, and maintenance of the appropriate PPE. We will ensure that the PPE is provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition due to the potential hazards from workplace processes.
