Decade  Body Glove         NEWS Department of Labor: Occupational Safety and Health Administration This Final Rule became effective on February 13, 2008. The Final Rule must be implemented by May 15, 2008. 29 CFR Parts 1910, 1915, 1917 et al. Employer Payment for Personal Protective Equipment; Final Rule [Page 64342] The provisions in OSHA standards that require PPE generally state that the employer is to provide such PPE. However some of these provisions do not specify that the employer is to provide such PPE at no cost to the employee. In this rulemaking,OSHA is requiring employers to pay for the PPE provided, with exceptions for specific items. The rule does not require employers to provide PPE where none has been required before. Instead, the rule merely stipulates that the employer must pay for required PPE, except in the limited cases specified in the standard.
