OSHA’s PPE Fit in Construction Rule & Strategies to Comply

Join us virtually on March 5 to hear the latest update to the OSHA’s PPE fit rule, strategies for incorporating employee PPE fit in your existing programs and more.

On January 13, OSHA’s personal protective equipment (PPE) fit for construction standard went into effect. The new rule adds language to the construction PPE standard, 1926.95(c), “Design and selection. Employers must ensure that all personal protective equipment:(1) Is of safe design and construction for the work to be performed; and (2) Is selected to ensure that it properly fits each affected employee.” What can construction firms do to help ensure that their workers have properly fitting PPE? What best practices can be put in place to help ensure selected PPE works together and encourage workers to wear the PPE the entire time exposed?

Join us virtually on March 5, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern, at AGC’s Safety & Health Town Hall where we will discuss the latest update to the rule, strategies for incorporating employee PPE fit in your existing PPE programs, considering the combination of the appropriate fit, compliance, and comfort during the selection process, and methods to assess fit for various types of PPE, including hearing protection, eye protection, respiratory protection and fall harnesses.
