HAZWOPER: Personal Protective Equipment & Clothing
Course Length: 60 minutes
Overview:
The most important defense employees have when working with a hazardous substance is the personal protective equipment (PPE) and chemical protective clothing (CPC) they wear. Being overexposed to chemicals may cause severe illness and injury including death. PPE and CPC are designed to help shield, isolate, or otherwise protect employees from chemical, physical, and biological hazards when engineering and work practice controls alone are not protective enough. However, protective equipment and clothing have their limits. They can also pose hazards such as heat stress and impaired vision. That’s why it’s extremely important for employees to be well informed and able to analyze which PPE and CPC would be best in a situation.
HAZWOPER: Personal Protective Equipment & Clothing is designed to inform learners of the different types of PPE and CPC including their uses and limitations, levels of protection, how to don and doff the equipment, and the importance of proper storage, inspection, and maintenance.

- Discuss the purpose for personal protective equipment and clothing and factors to take into consideration when selecting personal protective equipment and clothing
