Personal Protective Equipment
Hazard Assessment
for Laboratory Workers
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a personal protective equipment hazard
assessment for any tasks that require personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, safety glasses). Please check
all activities that apply to your area. If a task is not listed add a new task at the bottom with the associated
hazards and personal protective equipment (PPE). Please complete the hazard assessment for your laboratory
and keep it in Appendix B of the Laboratory Chemical Safety Plan.
