Complying with OSHA’s PPE Standards

On September 9, 2009, OSHA issued a final rule which revised and updated Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) standards to be more consistent with the current consensus standards regarding good industry practices, as reflected by the latest editions of the pertinent American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards at the time (74 Fed. Reg. 46350-46361). The rule provided guidance for the selection and use of PPE, as well as clearer requirements that are performance-oriented where appropriate. New paragraphs containing requirements covering equipment selection, defective and damaged equipment, and training, were added to 1910.132.
