Which topic is addressed by the 130.7(B) provisions?

• A. Care of protective equipment
• B. Other protective equipment
• C. Labeling requirements
• D. Training requirements

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that keeping protective equipment in good working condition is a required part of using PPE effectively. 130.7(B) provisions focus specifically on the care of protective equipment, which means the standards require regular inspection before use, proper cleaning and maintenance, repair or retirement of damaged or contaminated gear, and correct storage to prevent deterioration. When PPE is kept clean, undamaged, and properly stored, it will perform as intended when hazards are present, reducing the risk of injury.

Labeling requirements, training requirements, and references to other protective equipment are addressed in other parts or sections, not under the care-focused provisions of 130.7(B).
