Although FREAS has a limited number of projects taking place this summer, all renovation and new construction project still require the same basic PPE. Most of the major projects provide signage that identifies the boundaries of the construction area. These notices will also identify the specific PPE that must be used such as a hard hat. It’s important to know where and when hard hats must be used. Please be aware of all hard hat requirements when working on campus and check the Job Hazard Analysis if in doubt. Contact your supervisor or EHS with any questions.
