Through Hazard Assessment

« The employer must assess the workplace to determine if
hazards are present that necessitate the use of PPE

+ Hazards encountered may include chemical exposures, falling
or dropping objects, particulates, temperature extremes, light
radiation, moving equipment and parts, sharp objects, etc.
