Disposal methods of PPE must comply with which organization?

• A. OSHA
• B. NIOSH
• C. EPA
• D. FDA

Answer: (A)

Disposal methods of PPE are governed by the safety framework that protects workers from contamination on the job. OSHA is the authority that sets and enforces requirements for how PPE used in potentially hazardous environments should be handled, decontaminated, and disposed of. This includes procedures to prevent cross-contamination, proper waste labeling, and training for workers on disposal practices. While NIOSH conducts research and offers recommendations, it doesn’t enforce disposal rules; EPA handles environmental waste management on a broader environmental scale; and FDA focuses on medical device safety and labeling, not the routine disposal procedures for PPE in workplaces. So, OSHA provides the appropriate workplace-standard guidance for PPE disposal.
