PPE managementPPE

PPE management goes beyond handing out hard hats. It includes hazard-specific PPE assessments, a PPE matrix by job role, issuance records with size and expiry tracking, periodic inspections, replacement schedules, and training verification. OSHA requires employers to assess workplace hazards, select appropriate PPE, train employees on use and limitations, and maintain or replace PPE as needed. Digital PPE management links issuance records to training records and incident reports, providing a complete chain of accountability.
