Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Assessment Template
When it comes to PPE—whether it’s safety glasses, gloves, or hearing protection—blanket “wall-to-wall” policies may seem like the easiest solution. However, OSHA’s intent is clear: employers must assess the workplace for actual or potential hazards before requiring PPE. Simply mandating protective gear everywhere, without documentation to support the need, can undermine credibility with employees and fall short of compliance. Our free PPE Assessment Template provides an easy way to document hazards, evaluate the need for PPE, and ensure requirements are backed by data.
