A new federal OSHA pamphlet has been issued.
The OSHA pamphlet, “PPE for Emergency Response and Recovery Workers,” provides guidance to employers on the proper selection and use of and training concerning personal protective equipment in responding to emergencies and other incidents requiring it.
Among other advice, OSHA reminds employers of the four levels (A – D) of PPE available.
If you are an employer and need guidance on US Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, please do not hesitate to reach out.
