OSHA may also issue additional citations for employers not providing & documenting proper training and/or PPE based on this directive.This new ruling could have a big effect on your bottom line & could end up costing you greatly in the future if you’re not prepared. Always be sure to be in compliance with OSHA’s new PPE requirements!
