Which policy letter addresses required use of PPE?

• A. Policy Letter 4-09
• B. Policy Letter 3-09
• C. Policy Letter 11-09
• D. Policy Letter 13-09

Answer: (B)

PPE usage is defined by the policy that specifies when protective gear must be worn, what equipment is required for different tasks, and who is responsible for ensuring it’s used and maintained. This policy is built to protect workers from hazards by making the use of protective equipment a mandatory part of certain activities, covering how to put it on, take it off, inspect, and replace it, and outlining training and enforcement expectations. Because this policy is specifically dedicated to the requirements for PPE, it’s the appropriate reference when a question asks which policy addresses required use of PPE. The other policies focus on different topics and do not establish the mandatory PPE rules, so they don’t fit the requirement as well.
