II. MAINTENANCE OF PERSONAL V. TRAINING
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this procedure is to establish guidelines for the proper use of personal
protective equipment (PPE).
POLICY:
It is the policy of the Coconut Creek Police Department (CCPD) to provide its employees
with a safe and healthy environment. The guidelines of this program are designed to help
reduce employee exposure to occupational contaminants. The primary objective is to
prevent over exposure to these contaminants. This is accomplished as much as feasible
by accepted engineering and work practice control measures. The agency has
established guidelines to enhance the capacity to effectively deal with occupational
contaminants by supplying and providing for the maintenance of PPE by emergency
response personnel. It is the responsibility of every supervisor to ensure personnel are
protected to the best of their ability at all times. This policy will not preclude or supersede
City of Coconut Creek Administrative Orders or related Human Resources and Risk
Management Policies and Procedures.
