who is responsible for making sure that ppe fits each worker properly?

The responsibility for making sure that personal protective equipment (PPE) fits each worker properly lies primarily with the employer. Employers must assess the fit of PPE for each worker individually, ensuring that the PPE is comfortable and effective for different body types, including gender-specific options. They must regularly inspect PPE to ensure it remains in good condition and fits properly, provide training on proper PPE usage and fit, and replace or adjust PPE as needed over time. Workers also have a role in wearing the required PPE properly but the overarching duty for ensuring proper PPE fit and provision rests with the employer according to occupational safety regulations and guidelines.
