Employers are required to provide the following training to each worker required to use PPE:
- When PPE is necessary
- What kind of PPE will be necessary
- How to properly don (put on), adjust, wear, and doff (take off) PPE
- The limitations of the PPE
- Proper care, maintenance, use, and disposal of PPE
Laboratory management should ensure that staff demonstrate the ability and competence to properly wear and use PPE before performing work using PPE.
Retraining may be necessary if work conditions change or staff fails to demonstrate the proper use of the assigned PPE.
