Completed Actions Lead in Construction - Review

Pay for PPE 29 CFR Parts 1910, 1915, 1917, 1918 and 1926 This final rule becomes effective on February 13, The final rule must be implemented by May 15, OSHA is requiring employers to pay for the PPE provided, with exceptions for specific items. Codifies a 1994 Agency-wide Policy on employer payment for PPE.

Pay for PPE This rule does not set forth new requirements regarding the PPE that must be provided and the circumstances in which it must be provided. The rule merely requires employers to pay for the PPE that is used to comply with the Parts amended. A note to the final standard also clarifies that when the provisions of another OSHA standard specify whether or not the employer must pay for specific equipment, the payment provisions of that standard will prevail.

Pay for PPE Exceptions Non-specialty safety-toe protective footwear and non-specialty prescription safety eyewear Metatarsal protection as long as the employer provides and pays for metatarsal guards that attach to the shoes Logging boots Everyday clothing, skin creams, etc.

Pay for PPE If an employer decides to use upgraded PPE to meet the requirements, the employer must pay for that PPE. If an employer provides PPE at no cost, an employee asks to use different PPE, and the employer decides to allow him or her to do so, then the employer is not required to pay for the item Replacement of PPE – employer pays* except when employee loses or intentionally damages the equipment.

Employee-Owned PPE If an employee wants to use PPE they own and employer allows, then employer does not have to pay. Employee’s use of PPE they own must be completely voluntary.

Pandemics Disrupt Lives A pandemic may come and go in waves lasting for months at a time. Disruptions could include closure of schools and businesses. Interruptions of basic services like public transport and health care may occur. There can be a lot of social disruption and economic loss.
