PPE provides acceptable secondary <br />recourse, but only when engineering controls fail or cannot adequately eliminate exposure to the <br />hazard. The use of PPE is intended to provide protection for onsite personnel from operational hazards <br />that cannot be controlled through other safety procedures or work practices. PPE required to be onsite <br />for each worker during this project will include: <br /> <br /> Hard Hat (without face Shield) Safety Glasses <br /> Synthetic/Leather Safety Boots/Shoes Disposable inner gloves (for sample handling) <br /> Chem.
