OSHA's "Proper Fit" PPE Mandate is Now in Effect
OSHA's revised Personal Protective Equipment standards now mandate that all PPE must "properly fit" each employee—a significant shift from previous "appropriate" language. This update eliminates safety gaps caused by ill-fitting equipment and requires documented fit assessments. Ensure your organization is compliant with updated protocols for respirators, safety glasses, gloves, and other critical PPE.
