Employer Responsibilities
An employer must ensure employees use appropriate personal protective equipment.
Your employer must make PPE available to you in the appropriate size and at no cost. Non-latex alternatives will also be made available to employees who have allergic sensitivity to latex. Employers must also properly clean, launder, repair, replace, or dispose of contaminated PPE as needed at no cost to the employee.
Employees should never take contaminated clothing home to be washed. This can increase the chance of accidental exposure to themselves and their family.
