What is the responsibility of employees regarding personal protective equipment (PPE)?

To provide their own PPE.
To use PPE when provided.
To select PPE for personal use.
To maintain PPE only.

The correct answer is: To use PPE when provided.

Employees have a crucial responsibility to use personal protective equipment (PPE) when it has been provided. This commitment is anchored in workplace safety regulations and is essential to ensure that workers are adequately protected from hazards. Using the PPE prevents injuries and illnesses that may arise from exposure to risks present in their environment, whether they are chemical, biological, mechanical, or physical in nature. While other responsibilities regarding PPE, such as maintenance and possibly choosing appropriate equipment, may exist, the primary duty placed on employees in most workplace settings focuses on the consistent use of the PPE that has been supplied to them. This not only promotes individual safety but also contributes to the overall safety culture of the workplace, encouraging a proactive approach to health and safety.
