You'll learn how to identify hazards, select appropriate protection, inspect equipment before each use, and maintain gear in safe, reliable condition.

Foot, Hand, and Body Protection

Know when safety-toe footwear is required, how to select and inspect electrical protective equipment like rubber insulating gloves and sleeves, and how to care for specialized gear.

Yes. This course provides knowledge training based on 29 CFR 1926 Subpart E, the federal OSHA standard for personal protective equipment in construction. Federal OSHA requires employers to instruct employees in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and applicable regulations under 1926.21(b)(2). This online course delivers that instruction for PPE covered under Subpart E. However, employers remain responsible for conducting hazard assessments, selecting and providing properly fitting PPE at no cost, ensuring its use, maintaining equipment in reliable condition, and providing any site-specific instruction related to the particular hazards and procedures at the worksite.
