The 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.132(d)(1) states: “The employer shall assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or likely to be present, which necessitate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)”. It then instructs employers to select properly fitting PPE based on the findings of the hazard assessment, and communicate to the affected employees the selection decisions.
