Who this course is for +
For employees, supervisors and contractor teams who use or manage workplace PPE. This awareness course covers general selection principles, correct use, fit, compatibility, pre-use checks, care, storage, replacement and limitations.
It does not replace instruction or demonstration with the actual issued equipment. It does not perform respirator fit testing, select specialist PPE, determine medical fitness, or qualify someone for fall arrest, electrical work, confined spaces, firefighting or hazardous spill response.
Work through one scenario check per lesson. Then complete the final assessment: at least 80% overall and every safety-critical answer correct. These are OHSE course rules, not statutory pass marks.
