What does 16 require?

Where exposure cannot reasonably practicably be eliminated or controlled, the employer provides suitable personal protective equipment that is capable of reducing exposure to the agent, selected with regard to the nature of the agent, the type of work, the physical effort required, the time it will be worn, visibility, comfort and communication needs, compatibility with other PPE and the occupational health practitioner's recommendations. The employer provides information, instruction, training and supervision on inspection, use, care and disposal, keeps reusable PPE hygienic and in working order, provides facilities for the safe disposal of disposable PPE, keeps PPE readily available, provides storage when it is not in use and enforces its use. The same applies to non-employees who may be exposed.
