On September 9, 2009, OSHA issued a final rule which revised and updated Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) standards to be more consistent with the current consensus standards regarding good industry practices, as reflected by the latest editions of the pertinent American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards at the time (74 Fed. Reg. 46350-46361). The rule provided guidance for the selection and use of PPE, as well as clearer requirements that are performance-oriented where appropriate. New paragraphs containing requirements covering equipment selection, defective and damaged equipment, and training, were added to 1910.132.

It should be, it is from OSHA's PPE compliance directive. Not many have ever seen this type of material from OSHA so I scrubbed it and posted what is useful to safety professionals trying to comply and posted it here to spread the word.

This is, by far, the best plain English interpretation of PPE I have come across. While I have not checked all the citations and references, the areas I have been researching are dead on. Kudos to the author for his talents in deciphering and sharing this information.
