OSHA 1910.132(f)(1) lists six specific training topics that must be covered before PPE use begins
Is PPE inspected for proper fit, damage, and serviceability before each use?
Defective or ill-fitting PPE provides no protection. OSHA requires defective equipment to be removed from service immediately
Is all required PPE provided to employees at no cost?
OSHA 1910.132(h) requires employers to provide required PPE at no cost. Prescription safety glasses and some logging boots are exceptions
Have there been any PPE-related injuries or OSHA citations at this facility in the past 2 years?
Injuries where PPE was absent or failed indicate program gaps that remain unaddressed
