What the source says
New hire training Annual retraining Personal protective equipment (PPE) training OSHA required: yes OSHA regulations: 1910.132 – 1910.138; 1910.140; 1915.151-153, 155-157 Wearing personal protective equipment (such as safety glasses, hard hats, and ear plugs) is critical to successfully working in many high-risk work environments. But PPE is technically intended as a final option for protecting workers. Employers must first try protecting the workforce by eliminating hazards before resorting to PPE. If, after exhausting other means to eliminate hazards, workers must wear PPE, then those workers need training on when to wear it, its limitations, how to clean and store it, and what company rules apply to use. Training frequency: New hire training Retraining when: (1) changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; (2) changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete; or (3) inadequacies in worker knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicate that the worker has not retained the requisite understanding or skill Hazard communication (HAZCOM) training OSHA required:
