When your job hazard analyses indicate that your employees must utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against the hazards of a job task, OSHA requires that they be trained. The training must cover when, where and what PPE is necessary. The employee must demonstrate an understanding of how to don, doff, adjust and wear the PPE and demonstrate understanding of the limitations, care and maintenance of the PPE.

Allied can review your job hazard analysis and work with you to develop and deliver comprehensive and compliant training programs to address your specific PPE and operational needs.

Allied also provides the necessary certification of training and/or equipment use assessment verifications for each program.
