OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) generally requires employers to provide a safe and healthful workplace, which includes the provision of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) at no cost to employees. However, if an employee chooses to use their own PPE that meets OSHA standards, they may be responsible for the costs associated with that equipment. Additionally, employees may be required to pay for certain items, like uniforms or tools, depending on company policy and local labor laws, but these do not fall under OSHA's purview.

Employees who do not comply may be counseled, suspended, have pay docked, or be demoted, transferred or fired, depending on the seriousness of the failure to comply and how often the employee has failed to comply.
