What Is the Role of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in Meeting PELs?
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks, gloves, and protective clothing is crucial in protecting workers from exposure to carcinogens. While engineering controls and administrative measures are the first lines of defense, PPE provides an additional layer of protection. Employers must ensure that PPE is available, properly maintained, and correctly used by workers to meet PEL requirements.
