Course Description

This Personal Protective Equipment Course is designed to help those working in the various industries that utilize PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as a means to protect the worker from the natural harm that comes into their work area. This online class discusses the various hazards that personal protective equipment is designed to protect the worker from and outlines the various pieces of personal protective equipment, such as hand wear, footwear, face protection, eye protection, garments, partial garments and other equipment used to protect the physical body, eyesight and hearing for workers who work in various capacities. The types of personal protective equipment vary with job descriptions and are described in detail, according to body parts protected.  Each item is defined in terms of its use, its common function, and the materials utilized to make the various parts of personal protective equipment.
 
This course also includes separate modules for different job descriptions--such as firefighters, construction workers, beekeepers, the military and even the police department. Those working in firefighting, as is shown in the course, wear completely different personal protective equipment as do workers working in a chemistry laboratory or in a beekeeping facility.  The equipment is explained, the materials they are made of is discussed and the standards to which they must adhere to is explained.
 
Personal protective equipment must be tested for its ability to maintain its integrity and properly do its job.  Standards are discussed in this course and vary depending upon which type of equipment a person is dealing with.  We'll identify the standards and their varying degrees of protectability for various uses.
