About This Course
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a worker's last line of defense against worksite hazards. As such, it is vital that all employees know how to properly select, use, and maintain all pieces of PPE required on their jobsite. This course teaches learners the basics of various forms of PPE, including hardhats, eye and face protection, hearing protection, and hand and foot protection. This course also covers the "hierarchy of hazard controls" as well as the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers when it comes to PPE. The course also gives a brief overview of some other common, but more specialized, forms of PPE, such as fall protection, body and limb protection, and high-visibility safety apparel. Please note that respiratory protection is NOT covered in this course; rather, respiratory protection is covered in much more depth in it's own, dedicated course.

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
