Program Overview
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the final barrier between a workplace hazard and a worker's body. When engineering and administrative controls cannot fully eliminate a risk, PPE is what stands between a worker and injury, illness, or death. Yet PPE is frequently misused — wrong type selected, poor fit, improper donning and doffing, or inadequate maintenance. ICLM's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training transforms PPE from a compliance checkbox into a genuinely effective layer of protection.
PPE is always the last resort in the hierarchy of controls — it protects the wearer but does nothing to eliminate the underlying hazard. This makes correct selection, fit, use, and maintenance absolutely critical. An ill-fitting respirator, a cracked safety visor, or an expired chemical-resistant glove provides false security while offering no real protection.
