PPE includes clothing and equipment designed to protect workers from hazards. It is considered the last line of defense after elimination, substitution, engineering, and administrative controls. This PPE training explains the hierarchy of controls and when PPE becomes necessary. For specific PPE types, see Head Protection at Workplace and Face & Eyes Protection for Supervisors.

This PPE training explains the hierarchy of controls and when PPE becomes necessary. For specific PPE types, see Head Protection at Workplace and Face & Eyes Protection for Supervisors.
Synergy of controls means using multiple hazard control methods together – not relying on PPE alone. For example, machine guarding (engineering) + safe procedures (administrative) + PPE (gloves, goggles) work together. Module 3 covers this concept in depth. For machine‑related hazards, see Introduction to Machine Safety.
In the US, OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I requires employers to provide and ensure PPE use. In Canada, provincial regulations (e.g., Ontario Regulation 851) mandate PPE where hazards cannot be eliminated. Module 5 covers legal aspects. For external reference, visit OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment page. Also see HAZCOM/ OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) for chemical PPE needs.
Selection depends on hazard type (chemical, physical, biological), exposure level, fit, and comfort. This course covers PPE qualification and relevance. For hearing protection, see Noise Prevention and Hearing Protection at Workplace. For chemical handling, see Chemical Safety In a Food Plant.
