LEARNING TASK 1 : Describe safety gear and work clothing

WorkSafeBC regulations

WorkSafeBC regulations state that a worker is responsible for  providing:

  • clothing needed for protection against the natural elements
  • general-purpose work gloves
  • appropriate footwear, including safety footwear
  • safety headgear

WorkSafeBC regulations state that the employer is responsible for providing, at no cost to the worker, all other items of personal protective equipment required by the regulations.

WorkSafeBC PPE information sheets

WorkSafeBC personal protective equipment (PPE) information sheets can be used to inform employers, supervisors, and workers about PPE in general. These sheets are ideal for worker orientation and crew talks and for posting on bulletin boards. The sheets explain the PPE required by the regulations for specific industries and hazards as well as describing when and how different types of PPE must be worn.

Go to the WorkSafeBC website to see examples of PPE information sheets.
