Report Link Employer Payment for Personal Protective Equipment.Baker Hostetler LLP - April 06, 2009 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration modified its standards on personal protective equipment (“PPE”), effective February 2008. Although the new rules have been in effect for about a year, employers continue to have questions about the standard. This article attempts to make clear the types of PPE employers are required to provide at no cost to employees and the exceptions. PPE includes items such as safety glasses, safety-toe shoes, protective gloves, respiratory protection, and personal fall arrest systems. Employers affected by these standards include those in general industry, longshore and harbors, and construction. Report Link OSHA Seeks Changes to Personal Protective Equipment Rules to Greatly Increase Penalties.Jackson Lewis LLP - August 22, 2008 New rules proposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration could significantly increase the number and size of employer penalties for citations under the agency’s personal protective equipment (PPE) standards in general industry, construction and other industries subject to OSHA authority. In proposed rules published August 19, OSHA seeks to clarify that it has the right to cite and penalize employers on an instance-by-instance (including per affected employee) basis for violation of PPE standards. According to OSHA, as a result of some Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission decisions (in some cases approved by the courts) in contested citation cases, confusion has arisen over whether OSHA may cite and seek to penalize employers for each employee affected by a standard violation. Report Link OSHA Publishes Final Rule Regarding Payment of Costs For Personal Protective Equipment.Ogletree Deakins - January 22, 2008 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently announced publication of a final rule that will require employers, with only a few exceptions, to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to employees at no cost to the employee, where such equipment is already required by OSHA. Report Link New OSHA Rule Requires Employers to Pay for Personal Protective Equipment.Ford & Harrison LLP - December 04, 2007 For years many employers have been confused about their obligation to pay for personal protective equipment (“PPE”). This confusion was caused by the fact that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) had no clear standard that defined who was responsible for paying for PPE. While in most cases OSHA held the employer responsible for providing and paying for PPE, there were exceptions when an employee could be asked to pay for the PPE. At times it remained unclear when or how these exceptions would be applied. Report Link New OSHA Rule: Employers Now Required to Pay for Personal Protective Equipment.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - December 04, 2007 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued a final rule requiring all employers to pay for personal protective equipment (PPE) used to comply with OSHA Standards, with few exceptions. 72 Fed.
