The legislation relevant to personal protective equipment (PPE) primarily includes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards in the United States, which mandate that employers provide appropriate PPE to protect workers from workplace hazards. The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 in the UK also outline requirements for employers to assess risks and provide suitable PPE. Additionally, the European Union’s Regulation (EU) 2016/425 establishes safety requirements for PPE in the EU market. These laws emphasize the importance of ensuring that PPE is properly selected, maintained, and used to ensure worker safety.
