• • PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) AND MATRIX Every effort will be made to eliminate or reduce a hazardous condition through engineering and/or administrative controls. For hazardous conditions which cannot be eliminated through engineering or administrative controls: SUPERVISORS WILL: • Base the selection of Personal Protective Equipment on evaluation of specific tasks to be performed,conditions present,employee capacities,and the intensity and duration of the exposure. • Conduct a worksite hazard assessment initially and as needed to determine the need for personal protective equipment,assign the appropriate equipment and demonstrate its proper use,care and storage. (See Worksite Personal Protective Equipment Assessment and Job Hazard Analysis Worksheet_) • Monitor employees for correct use and care of equipment,and provide follow-up training when necessary to ensure protection. • Monitor the worksite and tasks for changes and introduction of new hazards. • Enforce this program following the company's progressive disciplinary policy.
