Answer: Before each use or at regular intervals
Regular inspection ensures damaged equipment is replaced before it fails.

Answer: PPE is the last line of defense after engineering and administrative controls
Eliminating or reducing hazards comes first; PPE protects when hazards remain.
A properly fitted pair of safety glasses should:
Answer: Fit snugly without gaps or pressure points
A snug fit keeps protection in position during movement.

Answer: Protects against head injuries from kicks or falls
Head injuries from kicks can be severe, and helmets reduce the risk.
Which is the correct way to clean hearing protection earmuffs?
Answer: Wipe cushions with mild soap and water and inspect for cracks
Mild cleaning keeps cushions sealing; cracked cushions reduce attenuation.
