How often must we audit our PPE assessments?

OSHA expects you to certify initial PPE hazard assessments per 29 CFR 1910.132(d), then update them whenever processes, equipment, or TRIR trends change. We recommend an annual review during budget season plus quick updates whenever JHAs introduce new chemicals or tools. Interview supervisors about discomfort issues, document any alternative PPE approved, and close the loop in your LMS. Share the summary with your safety committee so budgeting stays aligned. Keep digital signatures, photos, and training rosters tied to each PPE matrix so you can prove the audit happened.
