chemical, environmental, radiological, or mechanical irritants
and hazards. It is a basic requirement for workers who are

vest unless they are working beside public roadways. If an
employee wears attire that is not highly visible, a safety vest
must be worn.

endings in the inner ear. Wherever it is not feasible to reduce
the noise level, ear protective devices shall be provided and

be fitted. Plain cotton inserted into the ear is not acceptable.

jobsites are required to wear additional protective gear:
