by Occupational Safety and Administration (Author), U. S. Department of Labor (Author)

OSHA's mission is to assure the safety and health of America's working men and women by promulgating and enforcing standards and regulations; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health as well as the development of comprehensive safety and health management systems. Effective and efficient use of resources requires careful, flexible planning. In this way, the overall goal of hazard abatement and employee protection is best served. This instruction, "Enforcement Guidance for Personal Protective Equipment in General Industry," establishes OSHA's general enforcement and guidance policy for its standards addressing personal protective equipment (PPE). It instructs OSHA enforcement personnel on both the agency's interpretations of those standards and the procedures for enforcing them.
