PPE Needed For Refueling Equipment

Q: What PPE does OSHA require when refueling equipment that runs on gasoline, diesel or kerosene?
A: OSHA relies on the employer to determine the PPE needs based on the hazard that the employees are exposed to. In this case, the Material Safety Data Sheets for the fuels need to be reviewed to determine the needed PPE.
