Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training Videos
Our PPE training courses make it easy to meet OSHA requirements and protect your workforce. Video kits and online courses ensure your in-house team covers proper use of PPE, whether your employees need respirators, hearing protection, safety glasses, face shields, or other equipment.
Most buyers start with our general PPE training video, which covers head, eye and face, hand, and foot protection for manufacturing, warehouse, and maintenance employees. If your crews work on a job site, our construction PPE training video covers the same ground for construction.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Training — Frequently Asked Questions
What does OSHA require for PPE training?
Under OSHA 1910.132(f), employees required to use PPE must be trained on when PPE is necessary, what PPE is necessary, how to properly use it, its limitations, and proper maintenance and care. After training, employees must show they understand proper use before doing work that requires it.
When is PPE required in the workplace?
PPE is required when workplace hazards are present or could be present. Employers must conduct and document a written hazard assessment under 1910.132(d), identifying the workplace evaluated, who performed the evaluation and when, to determine which types of PPE are appropriate.
How long does PPE training take?
PPE training can typically be completed in 1 to 2 hours. Each of our training videos runs 14 to 21 minutes, and should be paired with hands-on practice using the actual equipment, such as eye and body protection.
When is PPE retraining required?
OSHA does not set a fixed retraining interval for PPE. Under 1910.132(f)(3), retraining is required when changes in the workplace or changes in the types of PPE used make previous training obsolete, or when an employee’s knowledge or use of assigned PPE shows they have not retained the training.
Does the employer have to pay for PPE?
Yes. Employers must pay for most personal protective equipment, with limited exceptions such as non-specialty safety-toe footwear and non-specialty prescription safety eyewear that employees are allowed to wear off-site. Employers must also reassess workplace conditions and update their PPE selections as hazards change.
What is included in the PPE training kit?
Each kit includes the full-length training video, a presenter’s guide for leading the session in person, a quiz to test training comprehension, and a printable certificate of completion for your training records. There is no OSHA PPE certification for employees, so the certificate is a training record rather than a credential.
How much does the PPE training course cost?
For a one-time fee of $239 you can conduct in-house PPE training as often as needed. Courses are available in USB, DVD, and online formats in English and Spanish, with specialized options for hearing, respirator, and eye safety.
