OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard requires employers to assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present that necessitate the use of PPE. Based on the assessment, appropriate PPE must be selected and provided to affected employees.

With reference to the PPE Hazard Assessment Certification Form, use the criteria listed to identify potential hazards on construction sites.

After completing your hazard assessment, develop a summary of your results that explains the hazards you found and ways to control the hazards using engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment.
