Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms and therefore, can cause potentially dangerous situations. Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect your employees.

Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use of PPE to create a barrier between the hazard and the employees.
