Who is responsible for providing required personal protective equipment (PPE) in most cases?
a.The worker, purchased personally
b.The equipment manufacturer directly
c.The employer, generally at no cost to the worker
d.OSHA inspectors
Explanation
Employers are generally required to provide required PPE at no cost to employees, with limited exceptions such as ordinary safety-toe footwear allowed to be worn off-site. Employers must also ensure PPE is properly maintained and that workers are trained in its use. This helps remove cost as a barrier to protection.
