Information disclosed on the supplier MSDS regarding the selection of PPE can serve as the starting point from which employers can determine when, where and what PPE will be required. Alternately, an employer may determine that the PPE recommended by the supplier MSDS does not adequately address the potential hazards of a particular task and may choose alternate means to reduce worker exposure. Employers may also contact the supplier for additional information. Employers should discuss their particular circumstances with manufacturers or vendors of PPE in order to determine which one of their materials or products will provide the best performance. For example, a recommended glove material, if purchased from two different manufacturers, may not provide similar protection with the same product due to material grade, thickness, etc.
