Description

Abstract: It’s a decision the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) says could prevent thousands of work-related injuries each year. That is, the agency now requires employers to provide employees with virtually all of their personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats and nonprescription safety goggles. This article explains the rationale behind this new rule along with the finer points of abiding by it.
