There is a written PPE program in place identifying the PPE program elements.

Workplace assessments are done to determine what hazards are present and what PPE is needed to protect the employees from harm which should also include breakthrough times for chemical clothing and chemical gloves.

There is a variety of PPE and sizes available to accommodate different employee statures.

PPE is inspected, cleaned, maintained, and stored properly.

All employees are trained on the use and storage of PPE.

Your company doesn't need a PPE Program.

There is a written Respiratory Program in place identifying the respiratory program elements.

Respiratory protection is assigned based on risk assessments and a respiratory cartridge change out schedule is incorporated based on objective information or data of known chemical concentrations.

All employees are annually trained, medically fit (had a physical) to wear a respirator and fit tested documenting respirator model and size.

All respiratory protection is cleaned, maintained, and stored in a bag with employee's name and work ID number.

All training and fit testing records are recorded and maintained until next training/fit testing date.

Your company doesn't need a RP Program.

There is a written Hazard Communication Program with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) requirements in place.

There is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each chemical with a revision date less than 5 years.

The SDSs are available either by hard copy or electronic access.

All employees have been trained on the GHS requirements on the use, handling, and storage of chemicals.

All the primary and secondary containers have GHS labels.

Your company doesn't need a HAZCOM Program.

There is a section in the Occupational Health Program specifying the employee exposure and medical recordkeeping requirements for employees that may be exposed to health hazards.

Employee exposure records (i.e., workplace monitoring or surveys, biological monitoring, and SDS with chemical or substance name) for each employee are being preserved and maintained for at least the duration of employment plus thirty (30) years.

Employee medical records (i.e., medical and employment questionnaires or histories, medical examinations) for each employee are being preserved and maintained for at least the duration of employment plus thirty (30) years.

Whenever an employee or designated representative requests access to exposure or medical records, your company is assuring access free of charge within fifteen (15) working days.

Whenever access is requested to an analysis which reports the contents of employee medical records by either direct identifier or by information that could indirectly identify specific employees, your company is removing that information before access is provided.

Your company doesn't need an Exposure and Medical Program.
