In today’s economic environment many companies are striving to reduce costs in every aspect of their plant operations. PPE is often a target of cost-cutting measures and changes are made without fully understanding the impact on worker safety. At the same time companies are trying to reduce PPE expenditures, OSHA is increasing enforcement activity and adding inspectors. Companies can achieve cost reduction mandates without reducing worker protection by making smart choices.
