Effective PPE
When engineering, work practice, and administrative controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must provide effective personal protective equipment to their workers and ensure its proper use.
Regular work clothes does not provide protection.
To be considered effective, personal protective equipment must not allow potentially infectious materials to pass through or reach your skin, eyes, mouth, or clothes under normal conditions of use.
General work clothes, such as uniforms, pants, shirts, or blouses, which are not intended to function as a protective barrier against hazards, are not considered to be PPE.
