Failure to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is a significant factor in the number and severity of injuries in the workplace. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in a recent year only 40 percent of the workers with eye injuries were wearing protective eyewear. Only 23 percent of the workers with foot injuries were wearing safety shoes. Only 1 percent of workers suffering face injuries were wearing face protection. Hard hats were worn by only 16 percent of those workers who sustained head injuries. And only 59 percent of establishments that required employees to use respirators actually provided respirator training.
PPE provides an essential barrier between your employees and the hazards they face on the job. But it won’t do them any good if your employees don’t use it every day, and use it properly. To ensure that employees understand why, when, and how to use assigned PPE, effective and ongoing training is essential.
