Course in Health and Safety - Personal Protective Equipment

Every business needs to develop a safe and healthy working environment. How do you protect the health and safety of your employees? This course provides the latest information on personal protective equipment (PPE), defines their categories and outlines the training requirements needed for any scenario. The first module explores the general use of PPE as a whole while the second module looks at the particular PPE used to protect each body part. Although every state or country will have its own regulations, the recommendations found in this course align with U.S. OSHA standards.

At first, you will explore the various designs of PPE and learn the importance of the ‘correct fit’ for each employee using them. We investigate the potential hazards found in the workplace and explain how to form an appropriate PPE hazard assessment. You will discover how to evaluate information to make an informed decision regarding suitable PPE and the level of protection an employee needs. You will go on to understand the required documentation, what hazard controls are, and how you can apply them in your working environment. You will also become familiar with who needs training or retraining and the importance of practical evaluation.

The final module looks specifically at each type of PPE in more detail. You will examine eye and face protection, respiratory protection, head, hands or feet protection, PPE for electrical safety and PPE needed to avoid hearing loss. You will gain further knowledge of the topics covered in the first module, pertaining more precisely to each type of PPE. Because dangers occur in every working environment, it is of utmost importance for supervisors and managers to be knowledgeable about PPE, manage programs and hazard assessments and train and educate all personnel. This course is based on OSHA recommendations and is packed full of information for anyone who must understand the importance of hazard control. Enroll today and gain a deep understanding of PPE and its function in controlling dangers.
