What is required from individuals who wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at work?

Physical strength training
Training on proper use of PPE
Assistance from a supervisor
Regular health check-ups

The correct answer is: Training on proper use of PPE

Individuals who wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at work must receive training on the proper use of PPE to ensure their safety and effectiveness. This training covers critical aspects such as the correct way to wear the equipment, understanding the purpose of the specific PPE, recognizing its limitations, and knowing how to maintain and inspect it for wear and tear. Understanding how to use PPE correctly is vital because improper use can lead to increased risk of injury or health issues. For instance, if a worker does not know how to properly fit a respirator, they may expose themselves to harmful airborne contaminants. Moreover, training ensures that individuals are familiar with emergency procedures related to PPE and what to do in case of equipment failure. While physical strength training, assistance from a supervisor, and regular health check-ups may play a role in an individual’s overall safety and well-being in the workplace, they do not specifically address the critical knowledge and skills required for the effective and safe use of PPE.
